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.

Many options. Appreciate all the responses.

It’s just a great platform. You should do a little research on it when you can

I stream Rock and Roll via the M5, and Meitner DAC, using Qobuz and Audirvana. Sounds wonderful! Good luck!
