Basically looking for all in one solution that has "endgame" Quality.
I would love something like the Cambridge Evo 150 as a headphone edition or a cheaper version of the naim unity atom..
Is there anything else on the market worth looking at doesn't cost 3000€ and does not come with a bad streaming app?
I would like to avoid going with a Stack. Alone for the reason that I don't want to get a raspberry pi.. and I don't want the bluesound node as a Streamer because of the DAC.
There are plenty of devices out there that do something good but come with useless backage that feels like a afterthought.. (good DAC, useless headphone amp, ok Streamer.. mediocre DAC.. good DAC useless streamer etc).
The device should have a good Streamer, balanced inputs, balanced headphone connection. Powerful enough headphone amp without costing 3000€.
What else is available?
