| Schiit Freya plus. Is this an upgrade? Still very happy with unit. No problems whatsoever.Liked the SQ from tube mode the most with my F5(DIY) and oppo205. Just to add, the speakers are tekton DI's which are driven very well, particularly on the low end, by the F5.The JFET came in hand... | |
| Streamers - Cambridge Audio CXN (V2) or Blue Node 2i To clarify, my music preference is classical. I have used 3 free internet built in apps; chromecast, whatever the 851 uses, and bluesound's. They all have plenty of stations or enough, although I think the bluesound has more with better graphics f... | |

Forgive me for chiming in, but I also about to acquire a CA streamer and I am probably more ignorant than the OP.Is it not a plug and play device for streaming internet radio stations that mimic FM broadcasts? Or does the NAS just give you additio... | |
| Qobuz Where can you get a puck in the us besides ebay? | |
| Please suggest a WiFi Streamer under $200 NPThe unit has surprisingly good speakers so it can stand alone.The back of the unit also has rca outs in case you prefer that route.I myself am looking for all options similar to the OP , especially streamers with the *most built in free radio st... | |
| Internet Radio as digital source Grace digital encore radio is a nice all in one package. Set up is easy and 1000s of radio stations for no monthly fee. All you need is wifi. This might be the wrong sub forum but no laptop or PC needed! | |
| Please suggest a WiFi Streamer under $200 I am happy with the Grace Digital Encore.Has chromecast built in(internet radio) with many radios stations.Sounds surprisingly good by itself(at the office desk), having adequate bass at low volumes. | |
