Point of higher priced streamer?


Hello,
Assuming I have separate DAC, and I just want to play songs from iPad by Airplay feature.
In this case, I need a streamer to receive music from my iPad -> DAC.

What’s the point of high price streamer? I’m bit surprised that some streamers are very high priced.
From my understanding, there should be no sound quality difference.
(Streaming reliability and build quality, I can see it but I do not see advantages in terms of sound quality.)

Am I missing something? If so, please share some wisdom.

When you talk about your understanding, I assume that is based on your understanding of the electronics involved.   There is clearly sonic differences between different streamers (I have both blue sound and lumin).  The question becomes the quality of the overall system and what you are looking for.   The blue sound is perfectly fine where we use it to fire up a loud 4/4 beat in our workout room.  But it would be sub-par in our main listening rooms where critical listening matters
