I am interested in knowing what streamer people are using.

My system is comprised of a Decware 25th anniversary tube amp and Klipsch Cornwall4 speakers fed by Hermes DDC, Pontus II DAC and Athena pre-amp. I have been using a Bluesound Node X with an external linear power supply for about 6 months and it worked exceptionally well. Unfortunately, last week the Node stopped working and since I added the external power supply, there is no warranty. I am considering another Node or even the Bluesound Node Icon – but am hesitant to update the power supply and void another warranty. And I do know adding the external power supply made a significant difference in terms of clarity – which I also hate to walk away from.

So, I would love to hear what streamer you are using in higher end systems. I am also interested to know if the new Bluesound Node Icon streamer has an improved power supply, or just a better DAC and screen (which i don't care about) -so if you have information on this I would also love to hear it.

Thanks in advance for your help!

I use a Node (2021) coax out into my DAC.

I would get another Node (2021) if you liked it. Can you transfer over your power supply kit to the replacement?

There are a lot of expensive steamer options out there. Good luck.
