Streamer Value Question Innous vs Bluesound


I am ready to try streaming again after my 1st failed effort.
I had owned the basic Roon streamer. 

I plan to use the Roon with Tidal service but not
the Roon hardware this time around.

I am now comparing the Innuos Zen Mini @ $1,250 v.s. the
Bluesound Vault 2i @ $1,295. 

The better Innuos is about $4,400.
If you add the reclocker and linear power supply to
 the Mini you are also getting closer to $4k.

Now here is my thought: Buy the Vault and plan to find
a DAC upgrade- currently I have an Oppo 205.
This will bring me the better SQ result overall I think.

What have others found?

I should add I purchased my Innuous Zen MK 3 from Dave (The Audio Doctor) here on the forum. Dave gave me a great deal and offers exc. customer service!
I’m very happy with the Innuous Zen MK3, it is in the middle between the Zen Mini and the Innuous Zenith. It is priced around $2700. I’ve ripped all my near 1000 CD’s ( very fast ripping) and with Roon it is a great solution for me. Customer support is terrific!
