akg, thanks for the rec and I’ll check the Beetle out for sure.
usery, yes I have WiFi available and I assume you’re probably asking in attempt to segue into network streamer recommendations? I have considered going that route but the cost of doing a dedicated streamer prevented me from pursuing it. In all fairness though, I haven’t researched many options for streamers. The forum darling Bluesound Node 2i is probably a great solution for many people but unfortunately it just doesn’t fit what I want a DAC to do in my particular setup. However, I am certainly open to other streamer options that may be a better fit. It would just have to include a optical (Toslink) input for TV as well as a Coax input for a Sonos Port, and would need to have BT simply for its convenience factor. If there are streamer options you’re familiar with that check those three boxes plus have a nice DAC and cost less than say $500 I would definitely be interested in checking them out.
