Sound quality differences in streamers


Can there be sonic differences between moderate and high priced streamers when used for streaming only. I will not use or engage an onboard DAC or any other feature, just stream from Tidal or Amazon to DAC. If the unit is just transferring zeros and ones to a DAC can there be differences in say a $300 WiiM and a $3000 dSC streamer? Thanks

Before getting there there is lots of noise on the line digital not being grounded 

put a ZPS on your router I use Linear Tube Audio which comes with a great DC cable to the router this makes a nice improvement , Ethernet cables too especially at the end point on your Ethernet hub something of quality with a LPS power supply and good quality clock , then your streamer ,innuos makes a good variety of streamers ,and sense app is very good .everything counts.
