New DAC or New Streamer or New Streamer/DAC

@high-amp7  My personal definition is that a streamer has an ethernet input, allowing you to "stream" files directly over the network/internet (presumably using Tidal, Spotify, Qobuz, etc... in addition to from a hard drive).  A server may hold those files and serve as a streamer's source, but is also usually connected to a DAC via a USB input.  Once that happens, then you have to worry about a lot more variables such as server power supply, operating system processes, etc.  I moved from USB to ethernet input and it made a huge impact on the sound quality (on a PS Audio PWD & DSD).

@lemonhaze I purchased the ps audio bridge ii, which puts a network input in my dac. 

@lemonhaze  And I use a "decent" ethernet cable, a Supra cable I bought off of Ebay.  Periodically a change in the system configuration has forced me to use another random cable and I haven't ever noticed a change, so I wouldn't focus on that variable a ton until everything else is totally dialed in.  And I say this believing strongly that interconnect, speaker, and power cables can make impactful changes to your system sound.  

And too elaborate a bit more on the setup, I use bubbleupnp on an android tablet to stream CD resolution music from Tidal to the PS Audio bridge.  The bridge is just wired into my router using that Supra ethernet cable.  

@lemonhaze Damn, I've seen those duelund based rebuilt tannoy crossovers at "Jeff's place" and yeah, they look super expensive. Thankfully the one cap is my only component.  You can see Nelson pass's  crescendo based tannoy crossovers here: https://jeffsplace.positive-feedback.com/jeff-checking-in-pass-labs-xa25-amplifier-and-the-duelund-a...

Might be a cheaper, but great sounding alternative...

Sorry for the aside folks.
