My First Setup and Streamer Advice
I just finished putting together my first real hi-fi setup:
- Speakers: Dali Spektor 2
- Integrated amplifier: Cambridge Audio AXA35
- DAC: Fosi ZD3
- Turntable: AT-LP70X
- Digital sources: Samsung TV via optical for movies, and an old phone via USB for streaming (not shown in the picture)
Everything cost me around $1100 total, and I’m really happy with the sound so far.
For the next upgrade, I’m thinking about replacing the phone with a dedicated streamer. The battery is terrible and constantly having to charge it is getting annoying. I’m also considering upgrading the turntable to a Rega Planar 1 or Planar 2 later this year.
What affordable streamers would you recommend? My budget is around $150. I’ve been looking at the WiiM Mini, but I’m open to other suggestions as well. I primarily use Spotify and Qobuz.
Also, I'd love to hear your thoughts on the setup overall and suggestions on future upgrades 😄
