I Mac or Streamer for source? or is there a difference?

Hello.
Should I use my iMac or buy a dedicated streamer to download music ? my "amateurish" reasoning is that I am streaming music in bits and packages of bits,  so should my hard earned  money be spend in a very good DAC versus buying a dedicated streamer? 
Just learning about streaming. Thanks for all your insights and opinions.

The biggest issue with using any PC is usually the power supply and it's ability to pollute the AC power going into your system.

I use a PC in a closet, streaming Roon over Wifi to a streamer right next to my DAC.

Best,
