spend on the streamer or on the DAC ?

I a considering splashing north of 5000 (euro) for a new source for my rig (MOOON 340i, OPERA QUINTA speaker, McIntosh SACD, Node2). Better to spend more for the DAC or the streamer ? I was thinking about a Schitt yggrasil.Or would it make sense to spalsh on a more expensive DAC and use the Node2 as a streamer, or, for that matter, stream from my Macbook Pro. Regards.

The DAC is more important, not the price.
Get the Yggy in your room with some highly regarded cheaper ones and you might surprise yourself. The secret is to find the one you like.
Cables, power supplies and ethernet quality usually make more diff in SQ between streamers than brand.
