Adding a Dac and Stresmer
HiFi rose RS150B DAC/Streamer - I have one and have been very pleased with it. Add a SSD and you can store ripped albums, native control of Tidal/Quboz (and others), accepts BT audio, XLR/RCA to pre-amp. Using it with ML 523/534 pre/power, I think... 
getting into streaming
There are numerous streamers/music servers that come with brand specific software, many that use brand agnostic software. Many can be controlled via computer interface. First question is budget? 2nd - What type of digital inputs does the Accuphase... 
Best Direction/Product Combo DAC/Streamer
HiFi Rose Rs150B for 5k (I own and recommend), I have heard good things about the Ayon streamer ( I own their Kronos tube DAC and love it). I have read that the Meitner MA3 is very good for the 10K range, but I have no personal experience with it.... 
PS Audio Direct Stream MK2 DAC
Interesting. I almost went with the PS Audio MK. II, but got a very nice deal on an Ayon Audio Kronos Signature DAC. Like Ozon8r's post above, I am running a HiFi Rose RS150B via AES (Voodoo Amati) into the Kronos. Although the Rose is a great pie... 
Tube DACs
Just got notification that the Ayon Kronos ships out tomorrow! Super stoked.  
Tube DACs
Well I am waiting on my first Audio tube component ( I have 2 tube amps for bass guitar, and 2 hybrids), an Ayon Kronos Signature DAC. It will be XLR'd into my ML 523 pre, and taking signal from an AES connection from the HiFi Rose RS150B. Pretty ... 
Streaming Dac $5000-8000
I recommend the HiFi Rose RS150B. Nice app, built like a tank, very nice sounding, very musical streaming, Also has the ability to install a ssd to hold ripped albums (which I have done, and alternate about 50/50 between rips and Quboz). I have ha... 
Problem with my Rose 150 b
The Rose Connect software that you use to run the RS150B, either from an Ipad, I Phone, Computer (Mac or PC) or Android tablet or phone. In the upper righthand corner of the applicatin (client), there is an icon that looks like a remote control (w... 
Problem with my Rose 150 b
Did you check the volume on the client?  
Problem with my Rose 150 b
In the rose app,  under setting> In/Out setting "Output" check to make sure the XLR/RCA (analog out) are selected? if they are selected, they will be gold, or at least that is the color on my Galaxy Tab. Also, on the remote control screen,  ma...

Network optimization for serious streamers
Network and Telephony (VoIP) engineer by trade.  1. Ping times can be impacted by traffic but mostly by physical distance between you requesting a stream and the provider replying with the data 2, RFI/EMI is bad, which is why good ethernet and t... 
Rose Hifi Network Streamer RS150
I have had my RS150B, for 9+ months at this point. I think it is absaolutely fantastic. The on board DAC is very good, ESS chip, and the software just keeps getting better every  update. It has been reliable, 1 reset over the 9+ months. I easily f... 
New streamer? N150 vs U2
@gdnrbob  I am not sure what your experience was, but I do know that using one of the Aurender ACS units (ACS10/100 or the A30) allows you to use the ACS as library for playback through  another Aurender Streamer (N, A or W series).. Cool thing ab... 
New streamer? N150 vs U2
I have used the streamer with both my Michi X5, and my primary system of a Mark Levinson 523 Pre and 534 Power. it sounded great on both.
