These guys don’t mess around with amplifiers and speakers. There is a reason why when you go to an audio show you see so many of these boxes in the rooms.

Help me choose a new DAC/Streamer
Fellow Audiophiles,
I’m planning on replacing my Cary Audio DMS-500 with a new modern streamer. Truth to be told nothing is wrong with my 9 yr old unit.
To give you an overview of my current set up, DMS-500 > AR LS25 mk2 > Pass X600.8 > B&W 800D2 speakers.
Below are streamer brands I’m considering, “ most of my listening is streamed through Qobuz, Tidal , Spotify" I do not use Roon, prefer to use Tidal , Qobuz cast capabilities.
Mcintosh DS200 fairly new developed model.
Ayon S-10 Mk2 signature.
Ayon S-10 Mk2 XS
Cary DMS-700 is another consideration, from what I’ve heard it’s vastly improved over the dms-500 however prefer to try a something new.
If you owned any of the above, have first hand experience , would you please share what your likes and dislikes are.
