Volumio made in Italy and Raspberry Pi made in UK are in my opinion good alternatives. Volumio offers a ready to use solution, whereas Raspberry offers a kit, based on which You can fairly easily build Your own streamer. DIY Raspberry Pi based streamer is about as cost efficient streamer solution as one can get.

I am confused by what this is. Can I use Spotify connect on this?

it totally software dependent , but yes its possible to build an raspi with an SPDIF output board that has spotify connect

Volumio is an Italian company that makes both streamers and steaming software in Italy, I think.

My experience with the old Mercury-V2 streamer of Pi 2 Design (! Only streamer, no DAC) was very positive. Based on a Raspberry Pi, but very versatile; nearly all types of in- and outputs. Superb audio quality. The new V3 is much cheaper and has a build-in DAC. Standard running on Volumio; but Moode and Ropieee are also options. Not the most fancy look; but top quality. Very good personal support of Michael Kelly when you have questions.

I think some not so old NAIM products were made in England but nowadays most of them are now made in china.

The SOtM sMS-200 (made in S. Korea, I believe) is a superb piece of kit.

FWIW, more generally, the Chinese kit I have here (from SMSL, Topping, Auralic, Gustard) is amongst the best I've ever had/heard. And the build-quality is beyond reproach.

It’s only some of the lifestyle and lower end stuff that’s not made in UK, either way it would be s/h stuff at OPs price point.

Pro-ject claims their hifi are made in Europe. I have a CD player and a headphone amp from said company. But even if their products are assembled in Europe, I'm not sure if all of their components are likewise. Their external power supply isn't.

My bike has a sticker that proudly states: "Assembled with domestic and foreign parts"! Can't be more honest.

The dCS Varese is built in England. Check out the white people contemplatively screwing in parts like they’re building their own PC or something.

At only $300K, run, don’t walk to grab one of these screaming bargains until it’s too late!

Isn't the Tambaqui a streamer too? A bit expensive, yes, but...
Anyway, an inexpensive solution could indeed be a Raspberry Pi with a DAC-HAT.
Volumio is a complete box, while I use moOde Audio (just a player / streamer free distro for it)

Why?

Why not?
(My wife is from China [I met her in Saipan] & prefers stuff not from China {unless it is made from silk}).

Well, "why not" is not really an answer...

(My wife is from China [I met her in Saipan] & prefers stuff not from China {unless it is made from silk}).

So, it is her request for non-Chinese streamer, not yours? OK then, I am totally understanding you...

Yes, I always try to go by: Happy wife=happy life.
But we are not the one's looking for a streamer (not of any kind).
I was just pointing out that some (probably most) folks have non-nefarious reasons for wanting
certain things, from certain places or from certain ethnic groups.
I would be suspicious of the quality of the product if my wife and I went to get Chinese food:
And not one worker at the restaurant was of Chinese ethnicity & neither was the owner.
It might turn out to be great but the odds would be strongly against that happening.

Sorry, I mixed up you with the OP.
