Another thought … though a preliminary one …

If my first experience with the [Matrix Element:X](https://forum.headphones.com/t/matrix-audio-element-x-dac-amp-streamer-official-thread/3755) was anything to go buy … one of those models is also likely a very viable candidate as an all-in-one AND streaming solution (if you’re into that sort of thing).

I’ll be covering those units properly once their iOS app is shipping (needed to configure them for WiFi operation as streamers).

Though sound-wise, with the Clear, I liked the Arche better.
