Hi Friends:

I am interested in suggestions for a transport/streamer/network player. OK if it has an internal DAC but I would be happy to use my own. I would like the unit to spin physical media as I have a large collection of CD/SACDs. Price not important yet just getting a sense of what might be out there that I am missing.

I went the all in one route with a Naim Uniti Star.  It has streaming capability plus a built in CD (no SACD however).  It's 70w/channel but is plenty to power my Goldenear Reference tower speakers.  You could a a SACD transport, the internal DAC is good.

I've been very pleased with my Aurender ACS-10. I've ripped thousands of CDs to the internal drive in FLAC format and have room for thousands more. You havento rip a CD aand play back the file, so it's not exactly a player. I have no complaints about the sound quality I get streaming Qobuz and Tidal although I generally still prefer records.

I’m considering Shanling SCD3.3 SACD player as a Cd/SACD transport as other SACD transports seem to be more expensive players that can be used as transports.  Can also use the SCD3.3 as a Cd/SACD player whose Sonics are very good.
