To be honest, i'm not sure i want to spend a lot of money on a separate streamer because Air isn't stable. I really like the sound of my setup at the moment but there always is a little voice in my head thats talking to me and telling me it can be better.
I am using the Moon MiND renderer with a Teddy Pardo 12/2 power supply and it,s sound is impressive good !
Although my current amplifier is a Pass Labs Int.150, I had the chance to try a D200 from my dealer and so I was able to try out the sonic performance of the Moon 180 MiND connected to the internal dac of the D200 by using a good digital AES/EBU interlink.
The good experiences I already had with the sonic performance of the 180 MiND/Teddy Pardo power supply were now even exeeded by the sonic performance of the 180 MiND with the internal dac of the D200 !
With the latest firmware updates the handling of the MiND controller app is stable and good without any problems and also the recent Tidal integration works very reliable without any problems at all.
Did you had the chance to compare the Moon streamer with Air?

No, unfortunately not... I had serious plans to make a comparison but I had not enough time for it. (dealer needed his demo D200 for another demo after I had it for a few days)

Curious witch streamer you guys think top Air for a reasonable price. Think this will be interesting for a lot of people because there is a lot of frustration over Air. Would be cool if everyone who has experience with external streamers could make an short list (top 3) on terms of price/quality. Hope we can get some input!

Just taken delivery this week of the Auralic Aries Mini, it is a very reasonable £375 and sounds absolutely wonderful.

Just discovered QAT RS 3 tonight at a dealer store in Paris. It seems excellent and has extractible HD in front 2T0. You can rip cd's easily and the App made by QAT to read music from phone or tablet is excellent.

Not sure if these have been mentioned but the Bryston BDP-2 and the Aurender N100H are excellent digital streamers!
I own the Bryston and also had a chance to audition the Aurender.

Surely the Bryston does not have streaming facility? As far as I can make out it is purely a digital music player.
