Hi all.
I'm looking to step up my streamer game.
Currently I have volumio on a Pi4 out over USB to my Rotel RA-1592. But volumio is really frustrating me so time to move on.
My sources are
- Local FLAC files over USB ssd
- Spotify and Tidal over wifi
- Optical out from the tv
Within budget ($900 Australian) I'm considering:
- Bluesound node n130
- Cambridge audio mnx10
- Cambridge audio CXN (V1)
- Ifi zen streamer with schiit modi, topping e30 ii, topping e50/smsl/ anything else in this range.
I don't mind buying second hand if that gives better options and I have no problem with seperates if that also gives a better option than the all one node or CA devices.
In my head I'm leading towards the ifi (based off some really good reviews) but not too sure on the DAC, from what I read in this budget range they are all quite similar.
What are people's thoughts on this?
Thanks
Luke
