My First Setup and Streamer Advice

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 😄
