Streaming

@bgpoppabThank you for that suggestion on the
Nord Acoustics Easy Stream Connect DAC 9038
as I've never come across that company before
Unfortunately my Audiolab 6000N is on it's way.
There are so many streamers out there that I'm sure will do an excellent job. Probably one of the biggest determining factor would be it's internal DAC if you don't own a external DAC and the software (app) interface. The Audiolab 6000N
with it's DTS Play fi software multi room interface really appealed to me.
It also won What Hi Fi streamer of the year, but they might be a bit bias  : )

Using a Cambridge CXN (V2) here on wifi...   Wasn't too crazy about it right out of the box with some god awful 25 year old ICs I had but upgraded the power cord and added some audiophile grade ICs and burned it in for a month and it's near enough to my Sony XA 5400 ES SACD. 

midareff -- I regularly use my collection of dual-layer CD/SACDs to do audio face-offs between the SACD layer that passes through the DAC of my Sony XA5400ES and the CD layer that passes through my Mytek Brooklyn.  I'm not keeping exact score here but I'd guess the Mytek's DA of the Red Book layer outperforms the Sony's SACD detox more often than not.  As for the shoot out between the Red Book layer detox, the Mytek nearly always carries the day.
