Switch Minidsp Htx for Bluesound Icon?

Hummm, for that price I will recommend more WiiM Ultra, at least in Spain is 400€ for the N130.

If the OP use Apple Music, the N130 is the choice because of no support to AirPlay in WiiM Ultra.

Having its own DAC, WiiM Pro is half the price though
 
If it doesn't have to be an Icon, you can also use a Node N130, which is currently on sale for under €300. It will get the Dirac Live upgrade in the next quarter and is therefore unbeatable in terms of price if you also consider the good BluOS streaming function and room correction.
Do you work for Bluesound or Nad if that's the company that owns it?
 
Every streamer has pros and cons.
For me, only the NODE ICON was considered. I need: USB input, AirPlay 2 and a Bluetooth aptX HD transmitter.
No other affordable streamer can do this. The upcoming DIRAC Live is the "icing on the cake".

Onkyo is going to release a preamp streamer with roon , Dirac , hdmi , AirPlay 2 etc at the end of this year .

"The P-80 Network Preamplifier and M-80 Power Amplifier are priced at $1,999 each."

Really attractive looking gear in terms of design, for sure.
 
I got a minidsp flex htx very recently and multichannel audio via Apple music has been amazing. Personally I think giving up channels for a stereo system would be hard to go back to.
