Streamer choices

Hello to alll. I would like to improve on the streamer that I have. I am presently using a Blusound node. I am considering the Cambridge AXN v2 or the McIntosh MB 50. I prefer the balanced XLR. I have a McIntosh C48 preamp . I would appreciate your feedback. Thankx, Arthur

I have been using an auralic Aries for about 4 years. I bought it along with a Wadia 321/315 to listen to high resolution content. Initially I purchased my music from HD tracks now I am using Qobuz as well. I provide the  downloaded files to the Aries via a USB drive. I love the Aries I’m really glad I bought it.

I understand the point now about the 320 kbps. I thought the next level upgrade would make a difference with my Mac equipment. Right now I am only streaming from Spotify. Maybe I should keep the status quo. Thankx

Just rechecked our family Spotify account. I do have the premium at 320kbps. So an upgrade should be ok.

$2k budget gets you new Teac NT-505 with dual AKM 4497 DACs. I like mine a lot.
