Not to divert you from streamers that you have in mind. Why don't you get a cheap streamer/digital transport (raspberry pi + hat) and invest as much in an outboard DAC?
hi thanks for replying
i find that a lil too complicated. prefer plug and play

Audiolab is good as per reviews
I am using audiolab 6000n streamer since two months. Its very smooth and neutral sounding streamer.
I have tidal hifi and sound is pretty good through streamer compare to sound from tidal through my sony x900f tv.
Vocals are better through streamer .

Cambridge CXN V2 - My new audiophile streamer and internet radio - detailed review
So after a couple of weeks of consideration and assessment that spanned from using Apple TV (that I already possess) to getting an old Airport Express, to a more vanguard streaming solution in Bluesound Node 2i, to a lateral choice of a DAP like Astell & Kern Kann, i finally decided upon the...

Hearing good reviews about the Audiolab streamer. It’s also priced attractively. But someone said it doesn’t support AirPlay - is that true? That can be a bigger limitation than absence of display for Apple users.

Audiolab lacks usb input.
Hi,
I have tested both Audiolab 6000N and Bluesound Node 2i with a wide variety of speakers. I prefer Audiolab over Bluesound Node 2i. The former is more detailed, neutral and works with a variety of upstream equipment. Bluesound app and library management is much better though and more suited for multi-room.usecases.
However, I recommend Rpi+Digione as a streamer+digital transport as someone else has also suggested in an earlier post.More value for money, better choice of software and honestly better sound in comparison to any streamer 3-4x times the price. You can order online a Digione Player with pre-loaded choice of OS in a decent enclosure and that takes away the hassle of setting one up.
You can search for my impressions of Allo Digione and Digione Signature in response to a similar thread in the forum. Cheers!
Regards,
Shyam.

Haven't heard the audiolab, but as a streamer, size features at this price nothing much beats the blusound. The fact that you can group different blusounds and add the blusound speakers makes life easier for using your system for non personal listening.
Who wants to add blusound speakers?
haha you are right, but for non audiophile listening and calling a few people over they are quite convenient and decent enough. Apple homepods much better and cheaper though.Who wants to add blusound speakers?
Check out our special offers on Stereo Package & Bundles for all budget types.
