Sound quality differences in streamers

Great insight here on many posts, thanks. Grinnell, I was thinking WiiM going to my MHDT Orchid. But don’t want to sell myself short. Hence the inquiry.

A friend uses the WiiM and I’ve found the software very user friendly which for me is priceless. I will give up sonics for easy to navigate software. 
And of course I enjoy the typical few snarky replies present on every interweb forum. Sorry I left off a zero on the $3000, not $30000 dCS (corrected from dSC) and misspelled model name. And a few others peppered in among the truly helpful replies. Lots to think about —

Great responses still coming through, thanks. However, I should clarify my interweb signal which, due to my “remote” location and where my listening room is situated is via WiFi only, no hardwired connections. So cleaning the signal with line switches or Ethernet is not possible. I will be relying on the ability of the streamer to handle to WiFi signal and pass it along to a DAC. 

I've made the decision and have ordered 

Volumio Rivo+ w/Lineo5 power supply.

Will hardwire to a wifi extender with Ethernet 

port into MHDT Orchid. Hopefully this is a cut above laptop

USB to Orchid.

Hell of a discussion this has been - 

O P here. I appreciate but certainly didn’t except this many responses on a subject which has been hashed over before. Thanks. I was this close to ordering the Volumio RIVO+ plus outboard power supply but because I am initially planning on WiFi connection only I read the RIVO suffers connectivity wise. I’ve read that the Cambridge EXN100 is quite capable with great results via WiFi. Still reading, still researching, still thinking —
