Upgrade Internal DAC of Node or go with Atoll ST120.
The R26 was on my list but not much info on the built in streamer. DAC is supposed to be pretty amazing for the money though.

So now my list looks like this: --DAC/Streamer Options— Atoll MS120 or ST200 Lumin D2 --DAC only with Node— Soncoz SGD1 Aune X8

I am thinking about the Aune X8 with upgraded PS to go with the node. I have a Draco DAC but that has started to fail after just a few months of use.   
Streamer/DAC Atoll MS120 and Arcam ST60
Still trying to decide if I should get the Atoll MS120 or upgrade my Nodes internal DAC with a better one in the $1000 range and just use the node as a streamer?

Not always the case and I listen to more than just rock music.

Yes. I tried but apparently they were not in the cards. Out of tweeters is what Fritz told me.

New change of plans. I will be auditioning the Ryan’s vs S400 MKII. I will report back soon with my findings. Should be interesting.

I have a pretty good DAC as of now. Its an R2R. What are some good streamer only options?  
Fritz vs CSS vs Ryan
I am going to order the Buchardt S400 MKII and a pair of Carbon 7 SE and see what one I like best. I think this will come down to what speaker pairs best with the Kinki EX-M1 and what speaker works best in my room. I will report back with my findi...

I plan on doing a shootout between the Carbon 7, Ryan R610 and a Monitor Audio Gold 100. This should be interesting. Anyone in the Seattle area that might want to ad to the mix please DM me. The more the better.

@jackd I just noticed that the Carbon used to have the ScanSpeak 1 inch Ring Radiator tweeter and now uses 1" ScanSpeak Textile Diaphragm. I wonder how the ring tweeter sounded with the Carbon? Is one better than the other?  
Fritz vs CSS vs Ryan
I think that read made it harder. The Carbon might be more in my flavor and might even be a better match with the Kinki integrated.

Had a great convo with Fritz. Now I just need to figure out Carrera or Carbon…

Got a call in with him now and just waiting to hear back.
