Streamer with gapless playback.
A few days on now with the Teufel Raumfeld Connector 2 and things are going pretty well. Good though the Arylic S10 was, the Connector 2 is in a completely different league, yes it has the totally seamless gapless playback that I wanted but I wasn't really expecting such a hike in the sound quality, it's absolutely superb streaming Tidal and it's taken the bedroom system to a new level, helped in small part by a bit of judicious tube rolling on my Reisong A10 tube amp, changed the standard fit Chinese 6n2p preamp tubes for a pair of Russian Voshkod Rockets, a very well spent £20 from Watford Valves which after a little burn in time has improved the upper mid and treble clarity noticeably.
Although I've not done a direct AB comparison, subjectively the Connector 2 runs the Bluesound Node 2i in my main setup very close imho and for a lot less money, just wish it had a remote, but you can't have everything.
