Thanks, the Auralic G1 looks interesting and on the used market affordable. You say it's at the bright side. I guess my Merason Frerot dac can handle that. But does it also have an Android app?

Yes it does with a usb WiFi antenna. Should be the same as built-in WiFi. Not sure if I would need dsd and more than 192k. List price was €3490 versus €990 for the Volumio. Something will account for the price difference....

Actually, I am hesitating between the Volumio Rivo and the Metronome DSS1 which is much more expensive but I can get for a good price. It's from a high-end french company.

Measured again. Speed is 144Mbps, strength -42 dBm. I assume that is good enough for WiFi connection I guess. I have seen the 432 EVO but it's not wireless, I think. The Italian  Volumio Revo looks great too at an affordable price.

@audphile1 No worries, as long as it is funny and ethical. Indeed, I would prefer a double blind experimental setup. @moonwatcher I am using Qobuz since 2015.Good point about the interface.

That sounds like a good price. Which CD-Player are you using? Vinyl is also my number one.

Thanks, makes sense! Now just need to find the right streamer model that can be tried at home in my system. And then trying to eliminate confounders...

Might be true, I don't know. I like(d) my streamer but it doesn't function anymore, so that's why I need a new one. Bottom line is that I am trying to find one now that comes close to what I hear/like from my CD transport. That's all.

@riccitone No worries, I am not offended by anyone who is trying to help. I can appreciate that. @mdalton I guess the W4S version you have tried will have been similar to mine, though mine didn't have an internal dac. Upgrading my external dac to...

Thanks, I will look into that!
