How important is an LCD screen on your streamer?

Very.

I have the Eversolo Dmp-A6 with the upgraded LPS.

I only use the eversolo as a streamer transport and 4TB music server to rip my CDs

i use an external R2R denafrips pontus II 12th-1 and DDC denafrips iris 12th

I for one enjoy my screen. Gives a sense of "it's working and showing me what it's doing'". I like my components lit up.

Having a display on the streamer itself was not important to me, so I ordered an Innuos Stream 1 with the Phoenix USB digital module, 2 TB SSD storage, and the LPS1 linear power supply.   I picked it up from my dealer yesterday after ordering it in the week after they were announced.  The only glitch in set up with that I did not realize that the gray area on the right of the Stream 1 front panel is actually an On/Off switch, but a quick call to my dealer resolved that issue and I was up and running with Tidall, which I have been listening to via my 2024 iPad Pro.  Well!  The difference is simply astounding.

 I had had great imaging using the iPad, significantly better than my CD player used as a transport through my Gungnir 2 DAC when working with High files.  Switching to the Stream 1 resulted in improvements to the timbre of the instruments, the sounds of the strings vibrating on the stringed instruments, the clarity of the French Horns (which I played in a concert band in high school after playing trumpet since the 3rd grade)--all are greatly enhanced.  I turned off the living room lights and we sat in the almost darkened room and listened to various pieces by Fleetwood Mac, The Moody Blues, Beethoven's 6th Symphony by the Vienna Philharmonic under Karl Böhm (we heard him conduct this in Berlin in 1976), Dvorak's New World Symphony, Max Bruch's Scottish Symphony, and the Trinity Choir of Cambridge University singing "Only in Sleep," and all were at least a couple of levels higher in sound quality than previously experienced. As far as screen on the streamer goes, I am far enough away from the unit that I would need binoculars to read anything, and having all the necessary information on my iPad is quite sufficient.  I wanted excellent sound quality, and that is what I have gotten with the Stream 1 with the LPS1 and the Phoenix USB digital board.  Many thanks to Aaron at Now Listen Here in Harrisburg, PA--and also in Falls Church, VA.

No display here. Use an Aurender with critical mode. I don’t like any lights or vu meters while I’m  relaxed and listening. The only exception is when I using my Mac. I love the look of the blue meters 

Like the vast majority already stated, zero need and absolutely do not want a screen.  Seems like a marketing thing and bling.  

A lot of good points already, but to add, think of the cost, dev cycle and manufacturing needed to put one into a product that doesn’t need that functionality imho.  
 

Sure there are some edge cases it would seem and or if one just wants one because it’s cool or for the sake of it, go for it! but imho I see no point and is more of a major drawback to have one.  $.02
