Streamer That Supports Qobuz and Amazon Music?


I am looking for a streamer primarily for a modest headphone system (and also bedroom bookshelf speakers) that includes Qobuz, Amazon Music, has quality sound output, is controlled by an app on an iOS device, and supports wifi connection.  Price goal is in the $500 to $1600 range.  Total HP system will cost will be in the range of $6k to $8k.  On my list is the Node line, Wiim, and T8.  T8 seems the best so far based on parts and reviews.   I like Arender, but no amazon music support.  Any other models I should be looking into?  Any feedback on the T8?  Thanks.

The T8 is the obvious choice for sound quality with the significant caveat that if you have a problem in the future with the unit, software update, etc. you may be on your own to find a solution because their customer service is marginal at best.  That aside it’s no contest. 

Most streamers run all the services.  I had Amazon since their inception.  Glitches.  Everything you tried to do sent you back.  It was a godsend to finally use QOBUZ .  All I want to do is sit down and listen not fight software.  Then they started trying to make everything 3D.  Another poorly executed feature.  But the main reason, Qobuz just sounds better, much better.  Click on a band takes you to their entire catalog of albums.  Click on an album, get the song list.  I dont work for Qobuz, lol

Only Bluesound and Eversolo support Presto - IMHO a necessity if you listen to "classical" music.

Also, I found their support to be excellent. There was a bug in the initial release of the software, USB would not work hi-res.  I reported it (as did others I suspect) and it was fixed after a week.

I had an issue ripping CDs - asked them and got a solution (that is actually in the giude) next day.

 

I listen to Amazon HD and Idagio (for classical). I've tried Qbuz and Tidal,  and found that Amazon HD sq as good or better,  with Amazon having greater selection and better interface.  I was using a Node 2i moded with a Teddy Pardo LPS using the coax digital out.  Recently upgraded to a Eversolo T8 using I2s out.

You might want to look at the new Bluesound Node Icon. Well within your budget and sports some pretty good specs.
