A question for those in the know about streaming FM/Music sound quality

Hi all, 
I am a long time audio person with experience in most of the great names you would know, Audio Research, Magnepan, Magnum Dynalab...and most other brands you could think of.  Was in the audio business at one time and attended shows throughout the world.  That said, I do not know much of anything about "streaming" music.  
I listen to classic Jazz and female vocals mainly and would like to know more about streaming and especially if it can be a high end audiophile source.  Not interested in quantity as much as quality.  
Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge.

Absolutely! It would be helpful for the community to know,

1) What is your budget? 
2) Do you prefer a streamer with built in DAC or
3) Prefer a separate DAC and a streamer

If you want high quality streaming setup, Bluesound Node 2i (which is a budget streamer with a average DAC) won’t cut it.
