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.

Does anyone know if a higher end wifi streamer is better able to 'neutralize'  the lower quality of the wireless connection (vs wired) than a cheaper streamer?

Because of all kinds of security issues, it appears I cannot install a mesh network in the house. That means I would need a streamer with WiFi connectivity. The Métronome DSS2 ticks all the boxes, but is expensive and not available on the used mar...

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!

It can handle 192, but that doesn't matter. I am looking for a streamer that matches the CD transport, not my previous streamer. I received some ideas what to look for, so that is good.

Sonos Connect Ultimo, a Sonos upgraded to a highend streamer by means of a better clock, power supply and spdif output. Done by Magna, a Dutch company, you likely don't know. But it doesn't matter as the cd transport was my reference.   As to th...
