Innuos or Aurender

Aurender. They make arguably the best and a full range... it is all they do. Best service, extremely good builds and sound great at each tier. I own two after owning and auditioning in my home a number of other ones. 

I would get the highest quality streamer you can get. However, I would not buy one with a ripper. You can ripe with a PC or laptop and second if you have a good streamer, you are likely just to leave your CDs and rips behind. On a good streamer like an Aurender streaming should sound as good as stored files. 

I have an Innuos Zen MK3. It's a very musical unit and does everything you want. I have even preferred it to a technically slightly better but not quite as musical (to me) Zenith MK3. 

Impossible answer ,IHave the innuos zenith mk3 which has 3 linear power supplies great isolation a nice Teac SS hard drive acoustic isolation and does auto updates 

well thought out , excellent Mundorf capacitors with plenty of filtering,and verygood sense app,but upper Aurender has good 

upperend products ,do your research and what’s inside that counts ,each sound a bit different ,Mundorf capacitors are warming sounding on average.you decide what sounds right in your system.

I have the Stream 1–with LPS1 power supply, 2 TB drive, annd Phoenix USB reclocking module—and it is wonderful … a great upgrade from my iPad Pro.  I also purchased a CD drive, as the Stream 1 can rip CDs.  The sound quality is excellent. The Sense app is very easy to use and works superbly with my Tidal subscription.

I appreciate the answers. It seems as if the Innuos has a big following. Mike, it seems as if you do exactly what I'd like to do. I just figured out my current LPS will work with the Stream1. It won't have the aesthetics.
