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.

Mine works flawlessly in a $100k system. It supports every service, plus internet radio, can Rip (or play) CDs with a $39 USB CD drive, and supports SSDs. With USB your DAC is in control, no need to spend $$$ on the streamer.
