I know the best answer to the upcoming question is "listen and compare", but I'm hoping some members have some experience with more than one of these.

I am looking to get a single streamer & DAC for my main system. I don't want to split streamer and DAC at this stage - this is a secondary solution to my vinyl setup (Linn LP12 & Whisper). I want something that's good enough to enjoy thoroughly and fit nicely into an open shelf on my hifi rack.

It must be wifi-capable, support Tidal Connect, and have XLR outputs.

So far there are three contenders:
1. Arcam ST60
2. Eversolo DMP-A6 Master Edition
3. Cambridge Audio CXN v2

Does anyone have differential experience between these three?

My budget won't get to Lumin D3 (which needs wired ethernet anyway), Hifi Rose or Naim, so it seems like these three are the best options in that R25-35k range.
