Hello Forum,

after an incredibly disappointing experience with a Topping M50, I need another streamer.
I have a few requirements:
0) mandatory: usb output to external dac
1) reasonable price, or I'll repurpose one of my raspberry pi's
2) 5V or 15V supply (not really mandatory, but I need to find some use for the Topping P50)
3) must work flawlessly with upnp/dlna with foobar2000. bonus points if it works with

because of #2, I was thinking about the ifi zen stream, but I read somewhere on this forum that it's not especially foobar-friendly.
I'm curious about this:

but it uses 12V, and there are no reviews.
Any hint?

Another? M50 is not a streamer. What were you thinking?
