Streamer


I have a dac.

Looking for a streamer with USB connection to my dac.

Would also like direct Ethernet connection along with wi-fi.

And decent app for my Android phone. 

Did I mention I have a dac? Budget would be under $1000.

(This should not be a great ask but I am having a tough time with my requirements.

Thanks.  Joe

@carlsbad the Node 2i doesn't have usb out.  The new node does now I think.

If the iFi Zen Stream has worked out it's bugs then it's the best one I've heard for under $1k.  I had two and they both had issues but I've heard they've worked out a lot of the bugs.

Yep, I bought an iFi Zen Stream and really like it. I know some had connection issues, but not me, it’s worked flawlessly. The app is pretty basic, but does what it does well, in a utilitarian way.

For me, who has a DAC, and uses external drives as my ‘server’, all I needed was a streamer only that sounded good, and the iFi does.

Highly recommended.

And yes, it has a USB out option to my DAC, which I use.
