Streamer? Aurender's "caching streaming" ? how important is this feature?

seeking to get into a higher end streamer and trying to understand how important "caching" is and who else offers this feature other than Aurender?

I'm not sure what the cashing feature on a streamer would do for me. It might be cheaper to get a DAC with a buffering feature than to get it in a streamer. BTW, I stream through an ASUS gaming laptop. A FLAC or Qobuz file sounds the same as the corresponding CD to my ears. I partly credit this to the DAC's buffering and reclocking feature. Whatever noise or digital nasties that the laptop is generating are taken care of by the DAC.
