Music streamers

My question is About music streamers in general. My current setup is a Laptop connected to my integrated job amp through usb. I was wondering if I should replace my laptop with a dedicated streamer without a Dac cuz my int already had one. So purely speaking about the difference between a dedicated streamer and a laptop. Does a streamer have a tangible improvement than a laptop? Just on the audio quality is there a tangible improvement. If yes plz suggest me some good ones below 1000usd. I’m currently eyeing the lindenmann limetree bridge. Thank you

I’ve got about a $50k system but used to stream  an iPad into my Yggy DAC.  Going to a dedicated Innuos server/streamer was the biggest improvement I’ve heard in 25 years.  That’s not the point, it’s outside your budget.

For my tv room stereo I got an Orchard Pecan Pi streamer $500 including DAC.  It’s got better reviews by guys who only review digital than the Allo, which they used to love at the price.

 I tried it in my good system and no it’s not in the same class, but it’s VERY good for the price.  Reviews are on YouTube.
