What are you using as a streamer? Constructive feedback please.


Wondering what improvements I can made to my streaming end and what you all are using.

Not looking to rip CDs and I mostly listen to vinyl.

System right now is:

Node 2 (latest version used streaming only with Roon)

Bel Canto e.One ref DAC 2.7

Bel Canto e.One ref CD3t Transport.

Bel Canto e.One ref 501S (best Class D to date to ever grace my system)

Mini GaN 5 ( had to try it and swap it in and out)

AM Qualiton X200 Tube Integrated (love it and gets most use)

QLN Prestige 5 Speakers.

All cables and wires are Signal Cable.

Appreciate the constructive feedback.

Have a great day.

I been using my PC with Tidal and am thinking about getting a dedicated streamer. What are your thoughts on the bluesound for streaming? And would that be better than my current setup? 

@tomstruck My Audio Aero Capitole Reference DAC is actually a DAC/CDP/Line Stage Preamp all in one chassis.  I guess when I'm ready to try the Aurender N10, they'll probably be available on the used market for < $4K, which is a lot more palatable than paying $8K retail.

Aurender N100H, no complaints. Big increase in sound quality from my formerly dedicated Apple laptop with SS memory, running Amarra (though I highly recommend Amarra software!).
