1. Matrix TS-1

• Price: ₹263,990

• DAC: Dual AK4493SEQ 

• Inputs/Outputs: HDMI ARC, USB, Ethernet, Optical, Coaxial Inputs. Analog Aux In (RCA). Sub Out, Balanced (XLR) and RCA Out. 

• SNR: 123dB

• Streaming: Native Apple Music, Airplay 2, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect, Spotify Lossless, Roon, DLNA, Internet Radio

• App: MA Remote

• Link: Matrix Audio TS-1

TAC Take : With trickle down tech from their reference MS-1 model, The TS-1 might be Matrix's entry level streamer from their main line, but there is nothing entry-level about it! In a market dominated by Android-based units, Matrix has engineered their software (Linux based) from the ground up. That means not only is the hardware optimised for audiophile sound quality, so is the software. With a plethora of features including Native Apple Music, The TS-1 sets itself apart from the competition by surging ahead with the one thing that matters the most... the Sound. Upgrade path includes the ability to switch to an external Linear Power Supply, CD-Ripping and Storage (M2 SSD) and much more. The TS-1 is our choice under 3 lakh and for good reason. This is the point where high-end sound,  performance and features meet affordability.

2. Lumin D3

• Price: ₹230,000

• DAC: ES9028PRO

• App: Lumin App 

• Link: Lumin D3

TAC Take : Lumin is no stranger to the high-end streamer game. With its minimalist design and simple interface the D3 imbibes their core values. There is a intended focus on the task at hand, streaming data and faithfully outputting it as analog onto your system. The D3 also has the Lumin sound many love. If minimal fuss and features with great sound is your bag, the Lumin D3 should be on your shortlist! 

3. Silent Angel Bremen SL1 Plus

• Price: ₹102,990

• DAC: ESS SABRE

• Streaming: TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect, Spotify Lossless, Roon, AirPlay2, DLNA

• App: VitOS Orbiter (Ergonomic & Reliable)

TAC Take : If you're old school and team 'touchscreens belong on your phone and not on your audio gear', the Bremen is the one for you. Silent Angel have made a name for themselves globally with deep expertise in network audio. With a no-nonsense, no-gimmicks approach, less is more here. With copper encased DAC modules, radar-grade built-in power supply and balanced outputs, the Bremen delivers outstanding sound quality at its price with bulletproof reliability to boot. Oh, and its built like a tank!

• Streaming: Spotify, TIDAL, Qobuz, Deezer, Roon, AirPlay 2, Chromecast

• App: StreamMagic (robust; Roon support)

• Link: Cambridge Audio CXN 100 SE

TAC Take : If you own a Cambridge Audio stack, this one is a no-brainer. Updated and improved, it builds upon the older CXN with updates like HDMI ARC and a Black version. While the jury may be out on the native app, the CXN is a full-size unit that does it all.    

5. Matrix Audio mini-i Pro 4

• Price: ₹114,990

• App: MA Remote App (feature-rich, intuitive)

• Link: Matrix Audio Mini-i Pro 4

TAC Take : If average is not your scene, the mini-i Pro 4 may not be the spilling over on the extra features, but it does the essentials. And it does it well! By far the best measuring unit around 1 lakh, the mini-i comes from a strong lineage of high-end streamers and it sounds like it. Packing XLR balanced output and a very capable preamp section, the mini-i also features an analog input in case you need to plug in your turntable. If sound quality, resolution and dynamics with balance is your top priority with reliability and no-nonsense UI... the mini-i is the one for you! 

6. Cambridge Audio MXN 10

TAC Take : Budget king! The swiss army knife of entry level music streamers, the Ultra does it all. Slick app, Room Correction... you name it. Around 50k, the Ultra is the one to beat! You don't get AirPlay though, and that is a deal breaker for some.
