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

There is NO difference between a streamer and a laptop.  That's the beauty of digital audio.  Bits is bits.  There is so very much stupid BS out there.  Money spent on USB cables and the like is money wasted.  Transfer of digital information either works or it doesn't.  Keep in mind that digital gear has transfer protocols that insures data accuracy.  

You trust that your bank keeps accurate digital records.  Why can't you trust your digital gear to accurately transfer digital data?

Save your money.
