This clown doing reviews lumps most everything together, my innuos is much more then that and has 3 dedicated linear powersupplies , raspberry pi is basic low budget and crappy smps  you get what you pay for in most cases.

Power supplies matter a lot for amplification devices for sure but a streamer is just a specialized computer.  

@mapman I agree.  Streamers are just networking computers optimized for sound.  I’ve owned them in price ranging from $100 to $3500 and sonically things improve as you move up the ladder.  So it raises the question as to what part of the streamer makes the sound better?  I suspect probably not the parts dedicated to delivering the 1s and 0s.
