Streamer with AES3 Out and no DAC

Thanks for the suggestions the Mind 2 looks interesting. I looked at the Matrix site and none of them had AES3 out, they had balanced out. 

Oops, my bad on the Matrix Audio. I got input confused with output. Sorry.

That’s alright I wish they did the Matrix were nice looking units. It looks like it’s down to Cocktail and Simaudio which have remotes and Lumin which has a great interface. I read the Simaudio moon app is terrible. The Cocktail you use a browser to control. Like usual nothing perfectly ticks all the boxes. The main thing is AES3 out and good volume control and app. 

djones, hows about an Apple mini with a usb to SPDIF and AES converter. Channel D's Pure Music has a stream through option which allows you to stream anything the computer can stream which I believe is just about everything. The computer can be run from any phone or pad.
I'm not sure but I think this would give you much more flexibility over any streamer. Pure Music is the program Michael Fremer uses if that means anything.  

I have a NUC with USB out but any conversion needs to be done with an impedance transformer per the speaker recommendation. The only flexibility I need is AES3 out and good streaming the less boxes  and cables the better.
