Bryston Bda3 vs 3.14 Streamer

Currently running a Bryston Bda-3 Dac Using a Audiophilleo Usb/Pdif processor for usb output from my Laptop for U-Tube And Streaming service.

Was thinking about Changing to the Bryston 3.14 streamer Yes?

You could just buy an RPi separately with a case and add the same streaming capabilities to your existing DAC. BTW, Raspberry Pi is up to model 4 now which does USB out very nicely (the 3.14 uses the model 3 board.) RPis aren't as cheap as they used to be due to the supply chain crisis, but still a pretty good deal.
