BEST MUSIC STREAMER UNDER 5K? BEST MUSIC STEAMER OVER 5K?

@calvinj 

i was able to compare what I have to the one of  most expensive ones out there

Most expensive what? DAC?

@dwette streamers. For what I got this for compared to the ones I tried that were more expensive. It did what I needed abd did it better for a lower price.   As far as Dacs I own our method 4 Dac. Definitely not changing it. Will be rocking this combo a long time. 

Under 5000: 

Metronome DSS2

Over 5000

Metronome DSAS, with built-in Audirvana.

My method was to listen to actual physical media first and come as close to the sound as I was getting with streaming. I choose sound quality over everything else. If your interface degraded sound quality then it was a no go.  Roon slightly affected sound quality therefore I sought other options. Audirvāna interface was workable enough and provided the best sound quality with access to a world of music using qobuz
