Audioengine w3


I am looking for alternatives to the discontinued Squeezebox line. I currently use an SB Classic in my mid-fi system (1984 Klipsch heresys and a Jolida tube integrated) and a Modwright Transporter for my hi-fi (Aerial 9s, etc.). I already have my music ripped to a NAS and have my network set up.

I want to stream music from my NAS and music from Mog nka beats with J.River.

I am pretty certain that for my nice system, i will stream my music with a Sonore Rendu to a nice DAC. Now, i am trying to figure out what to use to stream my tunes to a DAC in my 2nd system as the Rendu is too expensive for my pocketbook and my second system.

So, the Audioengine W3 looks promising and it is cheap. Any one use one of these? Any thoughts on whether this is a good solution?

Thanks in advance.

Hmmmm, I thought JR had relationships with all the main streaming services. I just read, however, that that is not the case. Apparently, however, they are working on a relationship with Beats. I don't get why the streaming services wouldn't want all the server softwares to have their service available.
