I need a new streamer.

[Norty]

You are in a similar position like me...
I use an ifi zen Stream for about a year now which was a big improvement over AIR or Roon RAAT directly to the Devialet. Power supply is a Ferrum Hypsos.
One of the biggest improvements of the last weeks was adding HQPlayer to the game. It can be added to Roon and also has it's own playback capability, also via remote on iPad or Android.
This really brings digital playback to another level, but ideally you need an endpoint which supports NAA (the HQPlayer network protocol).
There are not so many, but the ifi Zen stream or Neo Stream support it and also the new Holo Red. This is a device I try to get as soon as it is available.
It is reported to sound better than the ifi and also supports NAA. It has all digital outputs that the ifi lacks, AES and optical.
And for 999€ here in Germany it has already a built-in LPS which seems to be of very good quality.
The Holo does not offer Wifi, but Ethernet sounds better anyway...

Through this site I have read very good things on the HQPlayer.  I have looked in the past and revisited thanks to your note, but it puts me beyond my comfort zone for install and set up.  Looking to keep things as simple as possible even if I give up a bit.
