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

I have the HiFi Rose RS130 Streamer. The sound quality is amazing. Software can be a bit wonky sometimes. Ive got it connected to a Luxman DX-07 SACD/DAC. It sounds amazing. Super quiet and very enjoyable. Good provisions for storing and ripping CDs other music files. 

As an aside anyone else sick and tired of Audiogon login system? Login/Password recaptcha then 2ndary identification via login code. This isnt classified information WTH is wrong with this forum.
