No first hand recommendations but it seems like the 6005 is the one I'd go for. It's come down in price a lot ad seems to have all the features I'd want.
At the moment I'm using a NAD DAC II streamer which is great. It does everything I want (i.e. play music from my laptop to my stereo) and it doesn't sound like the music's playing underwater.
So @johnnyhotdog have you heard any 1st hand recommendations for network streamers?
Having a quick google, in the £250-£500 price range you've got the denon dnp-730a, marantz 6005 or the pioneer n50a.
For what it's worth what hi-fi seem to prefer the pioneer but they also seem to want to steer you towards the bigger brother of all of these which start taking you towards the £1000 and up range which I'm never going to be hitting unless I fall into an inheritance somehow..
The only issue for me with the ones mentioned is the lack of dab but supposing that the Internet radio option makes up for that...
Anyone else have any experience of network streamers that aren't the chrome cast audio???
