How important is an LCD screen on your streamer?

This is why I rely on Soix. Knowledgeable and succinct!

Cosmetics ended up being the deal breaker for me, I narrowed my choices down to Aurrender and HiFIRose RS130, very happy with my final decision as I love seeing the beautiful display, needed Roon which Aurrender doesn’t support and use my Rose as a media server for movie streaming as well as music. Do not regret decision and 2.5 years in would make same choice again for sure without hesitation. 

It depends on the use case.

I have a screen (Hifi Rose) in one of my systems that I use in a near field situation. It is really handy to have it right there to navigate things.

My main rig for a while used the Rockna Wavelight Server which is headless. I never missed having a display.

Now I swapped that out for a Rockna Wavedream Reference which is the integrated streaming DAC. It does have a display, but mostly for the DAC stuff. 

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.
