Recommended streamers/servers?


Up to $5,000. At present I have a SILENT ANGEL RHEIN Z1 V2 MUSIC SERVER connected to a PS Audio DS DAC via USB CABLE.

+1 for the Cambridge CXN V2.
Outstahding SQ and great versatility and a great price.
I agree quality of the DAC is vital.
I have the excellent Benchmark DAC3B
I went from a tweaked Node2i to an Aurender N100SC. Tremendous upgrade imo.
Highly recommend a DCS network bridge.
I believe that they are recently discontinued, but to be supported for a few more years.  
I went from Bluesound streaming to dCS, using the same DAC. There is simply no comparison. Unfortunately the dCS streamer (called Network Bridge) just became a legacy product, as dCS found it too expensive to maintain quality due to increased costs of raw materials and parts.  List was $5300/-. 

Caveat: the operating system (Mosaic) is quite clunky, almost primitive, as compared to bluesound.   

But if it's sound quality you are looking for it's well worth searching for existing stock with the dealers or buying a used one....
