spend on the streamer or on the DAC ?


I a considering splashing north of 5000 (euro) for a new source for my rig (MOOON 340i, OPERA QUINTA speaker, McIntosh SACD, Node2). Better to spend more for the DAC or the streamer ? I was thinking about a Schitt yggrasil.Or would it make sense to spalsh on a more expensive DAC and use the Node2 as a streamer, or, for that matter, stream from my Macbook Pro. Regards.

You don’t need Roon to use SGC stuff.

Those power supplies are crap. I know. I had them. 
Hey @facten : don’t mind this Dannad person. He enjoys insulting people’s systems a lot. And he hates audiophiles. Back when he was posting as AtDavid, he called my system a shoebox.

As you said, where is his system? I asked him many times when he was AtDavid and then Roberttdid, and crickets. Maybe because he has nothing to show? At least our systems are all out there to see, good or bad.
Yeah... unfortunately. He keeps getting resurrected 😂😂.

I posted above hyperlinks to his previous banned profiles.

Few posts, but loud and proud. More of what is ruining this site. Not going to waste my time and knowledge with you as your attitude is quite clear. For the record I have been inside a Mojo unit and done extensive work.  Carry on....

Few posts? I'd say thousands of posts in a short period of time once you add his other posts under the now banned previous usernames he used here:

Atdavid

Roberttdid


I am pretty sure on AtDavid and Roberttdid. Pretty sure those two are Dannad. I am not sure the other two. 
Hey @dannad: you seem knowledgeable dude. Very curious: what is YOUR streamer and DAC? Thanks 
Bottom line answer to the OP: both streamer and DAC are important on a digital setup.
Real story: I local guy on a local group kept complaining how bad his digital system sounded compared to his Analog setup. I know he spent over $2,000 on a cartridge alone. So I asked him what he used for streaming, as a streamer. He said his laptop. Because these are zeroes and one, if there is sound coming out, it works. Oh well... no crap.
