I have the below 10ish year old Cambridge Audio Dac Magic 6 streamer, but may want to replace it some day soon, so starting to get some ideas.
I only use it to listen to internet radio (10% of the time) and files I ripped from my CD collection (90% of the time) that the player access through my NAS.
What I like about it is that I can control everything right on the unit and it has a display where I can see what song is playing as well as search for songs.
Seems most streamers do not have any displays and hardly any controls on the unit, unless the streamer is integrated with an amp (which mine is not).
It looks like even Cambridge is getting away from having one with displays and instead coming out with no-display ones like the not-yet-released model shown below mine.
So for the ones without displays, how are they controlled?
What do you use? a laptop? What do most people use?
