Music Streamer Quality


This may be a dumb question but does the quality of a music streamer ultimately affect the sound? So here's some detail. I currently have a Sonos music streamer fed into a Simaudio Moon 300D dac. In the interest of having higher quality sound I could upgrade the dac or I could buy a dac with streaming capability such as the Simaudio 280D. I'm looking at a R2R ladder dac but would have the same Sonos feeding it. Does that make more sense than something like the Moon device? I appreciate an comments.

I would say the Sotm sMS 200 non ultra would be better than the Aries Mini, not heard the SotM 200,  but judging by the distance the Sotm Ultra beats the Aries mini, I would bet the sMS 200 may possibly be better. I own an unused Aries mini and a used daily SotM ultra. just my opinion.
