Seeking Recommendations for a Streamer (No DAC)

Hi All,

Unfortunately I could not get an Aurender N100h to work with my BlackIce Glass FX Tube DAC so it's going back. 

It's a known issue with Aurender, they even have a "bug fix" built into the app but in my case it didn't work.

I'm looking for a dedicated streamer, no DAC, optimized for USB to replace a NODE N130.

Budget is ~$1,000 used.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I will echo what has already been said, take a look at Lumin with the U2 Mini. It's a great unit and you can upgrade the PSU with various options at different prices.

Thanks all. 

I should have mentioned I'm heavily invested in analogue so digital isn't my primary source/focus. 

I think any BlueSound product will be a lateral move if used as a streamer only, although I'm tempted to try the ICON just for fun as a one box solution (zero risk from Amazon).

Eversolo isn't my cup of tea.

The Lumin U2 Mini + LPS is really appealing but the more I think about it, I may wait for a Lumin T3X. The added benefit would be cleaning up the rack - I'm  not thrilled with having 3 little black boxes.

I'll add another vote for the Eversolo T8.  I replaced my Lumin U2 Mini with the T8.  Really happy with it.  Love the screen.  And no more USB handshake issues with my DAC like I had off and on with the Lumin.
