I always say with streamers start with something inexpensive to see how you like the format. I used to recommend just plugging the PC into the DAC but the Wiim has changed that . I added the Wiim Pro to a 5.1 system for $100 and it’s very good and the app is successful. It only does standard resolution 16/44 but 95% of what I listen to sounds fine. Another $100 would get higher resolution with their more refined models.
If streaming works for you and you want to move up in price that’s easy; it’s just more painful to spend lots of resources initially and then find out streaming for whatever reason doesn’t float your boat. And even if it does, the Wiim might be all you ever need
