Sound quality differences in streamers

Can there be sonic differences between moderate and high priced streamers when used for streaming only. I will not use or engage an onboard DAC or any other feature, just stream from Tidal or Amazon to DAC. If the unit is just transferring zeros and ones to a DAC can there be differences in say a $300 WiiM and a $3000 dSC streamer? Thanks

? I’ve always referred to it as bile on the soul.  Some people just have it.  We can talk about them over scotch.

So, I make you laugh; and you liken me to a prominent American intellectual who was renowned for his sharp wit and intelligence. We are going to get along great! 😃

I think we should invite steakster and teach him a thing or two about digital audio 😁

ok, but if you’re playing WFB Jr. I get to play Christopher Hitchens.  Deal?
