Great network streamers with only USB outputs
I’m hoping to get to know the staff at Antipodes. I’m having issues...... Unlike many companies, I was able to book an appt with Antipodes. Talk about next level... cheers

@krell_fan1 , thanks Krell, I'm into the Antipodes world of streaming/Servers. This is such a beautiful unit. I was fortunate to get it in mint condition. all the original boxes and paperwork. Still in the learning process, but thankfully Antipo...

@soix btw Soix, I have the most updated version of Bel Canto 3.7 power supply. I got it upgraded from the VBS1 to a VBL(Linear). I lost the 3 connections for only one, didn't need a 3 connection setup. Dac also go a reference upgrade, I couldn't a...

Update: I've purchased a Antipodes DS-3 recently upgraded by the company in 2020 with 4TB SSD drives among other things. This unit does have a Spdif output, despite the company suggesting to use USB. I paid $550usd + S booster linear power suppl...

@tvad Always had the Holo Red in my mind. decent price, great reviews. @ivickery I looked into the Bel Canto OS (Seek) didn't interest me. I'm looking into using a Bryston BUC-1 - USB-Spdif/AES/BNC converter. Not ideal, but probably won't gegra...

@mazian  Appears to only have USB out on it. Perhaps it would be worth get a USB converter.

@mazian I'm lookin' at the DS-3 with upgraded 4TB SSD drives. I think it has a SPDIF output also. Can't find many reviews online.

Found a Antipodes with 4TB ssd streamer in my price range. Company seems to have a good rep.

I'm thinking my budget is around $1500-$2000usd

@tvad Wow, you have had the gamut of streamers. Lots of those streamers are next level pricing, except for the Rendu and Innuos. Thanks so much for your insight.

Anyone understand the Sonore stuff ?? Would I be able to run Squeezelite on Sonore Signature Series Ethernet to Spdif Render ? I can handle tech, but ZI have to admit I'm starting to get confused, that is why I've looked at Innuos.    
Great network streamers with only USB outputs
@tvad Yes I know that. Pulse Mini seems more affordable than Pulse, but without linear power supply. I like that Innuos lets you use Squeezebox interface and easily flip over to their own Sense app, which I hear is very good. Just haven't heard th...

@tvad Thanks, but I'm not sure they all use a squeezebox interface. The main reason I'm sticking with LMS end point is , its a nice open source ecosystem. It's been around for over a decade and it's always being updated.

@carlsbad2 I hear you on Bel Canto not building DACs with USB, but it seems they are in the practice now. As I looked into the Sonore Rendu... So many boxes needing power supplies. Doesn't take long to get the price tag past $2500. I've heard am... 
Experience with Modwright products?
I'm in Canada, I'll have to wait for a Hifi show at little closer. Cheers
