    Hi,
    I am looking for a good DAC that has built in Tidal and other streaming media support. I am more listening to Tidal Hifi lately and want get some hardware that will best support its quality and play ALAC files that are on my network. I have a Cat6 LAN cable next to my amp so wifi is not that important.
    I have a RX6 and a MA651A (I will be replacing this down the line) both off you. 
    Anything that you would recommend similar to Bluesound Node 2.
    Thanks

    Hi Mexicanking.

    You could perhaps start off looking at the Pioneer N30Ae which is priced at £399 - Built in DAC and supports HiRes Todal.

    Onkyo offer the TX8150 coming in at £479.00 - Don't think it has Tidal built in though.
    http://www.richersounds.ie/p-201919-tx8150.aspx

    Another Onkyo the NS6170 at £649.00 takes the 8150 to the next level. (Special Order)

    Arcam have their CDS27 priced at £699. While its a CD palyer it is also a streamer with built in DAC and HiRes Audio compatible.
    http://www.richersounds.ie/p-201113-cds27.aspx

    The RX6 speakers really are a great speaker and sound excellent.

    There are currently a Silver deal thread running here on boards with some cracking deals in it.

    Let me know if any of the above might suit you.

    Any questions please drop me a PM or a post.
