Good Streamer with WiFi Connectivity


Hi,
Newbie looking to add a Streamer into existing System. This unit will feed into a separate DAC (Accuphase).

WiFi connectivity of unit is preferred—to keep things simple—ie. don’t want the extra work on router, ethernet connect etc where possible, foreseeing the cabling~messy.

Is this (WiFi) route a compromised in sound quality? Which Streamer in the 3-5k range will do the job nicely? Will be using Tidal/Spotify. Lumin? Aurender? Or...? Thanks.

I've owned the Aries Mini, Aries Femto and the Aries G1 and have never had a problem running any of them via wireless and could never tell any difference in sound running them wired.  Also have owned a Lumin and the Teac NT-505, which runs off of the Lumin app.  Both apps are very good though different in their approach but I personally give the edge to Auralic's Lightning DS.  Both were designed to work their best with IOS.  Lumin has an Android version but it can be buggy at times.  Without a doubt the G1 has better power supplies than the U1 Mini.
