Server/Streamer or Streamer/DAC?


Hi,
does anybody have any insight into which of the above two options is overall better (e.g. more Pros and/or less Cons) than the other one, including bang-for-the-buck considerations, points of evolution, flexibility, total cost of ownership, SQ, and many other criteria, anything that comes to your mind?

fiza, I use my system both for music and TV.  Most of the time I play music over WiFi from server (MacMini) to wireless receiver (Airport Express) and then to DAC (Benchmark DAC3).  DAC is also connected to TV and Blue Ray player (to play TV, DVDs and CDs).  Sony Android TV (with WiFi to router) allows me to stream movies from Netflix and Amazon, but also to stream music.  I have only basic Amazon Music for now, but few streaming services like Spotify or Tidal support Android.   Just one more possibility.
