Music server vs. external hard drive to DAC

First posting here but 20+ years on AGon and the like. I’ve been told using a music service into a server into a DAC has a higher SQ than an external hard drive into same DAC? And there’s no need to spend big dollars on a server/DAC if a DAC is already in the chain. DAC is RME into variety of First Watt amps, QS tubes or Benchmark monos. Thanks

Why not save and step it up like a Innuos SS HD streamer 

and exceptional dac like the T+A200 dac + excellent active preamp 

that’s what I am buying next $7200 retail I have seen demo models $6200 

and as good or better then Any dac at $15k ,I have heard many at audio get togethers all in the same systems over 10 top dacs some over$20 k that was not as well balanced . Do a demo , and check out the reviews.
