Streamer opinion.. Pease comment on validity.

Please comment on the below statement. 

"A streamer is just a digital network appliance. It connects to a network, renders a digital stream, and spits out either analogue or digital audio stream. It's just digits; you don't need an 'audiophile network streamer' for the digital aspect. The 'audiophile' stuff is handled by the DAC. If the DAC can't clean up noise and jitter on the digital inputs, it's poorly engineered; look elsewhere."

Here is my 2 cents- my experience - I have been running my LUMIN D1 for 5 years into two high quality stereo systems (Krell and Maggie’s). The D1 constantly gets upgraded via its internet connection automatically from LUMIN via its Ethernet cable. The Apple interface on my iPad mini is great. I stream Tidal HiFi with MQA and I cannot believe the sound quality- every cable upgrade has improved my detail and soundstage. Just replaced the DC power supply - went with the SBoost - another amazing increase in detail out of my 5 year old rig that cost me $2,000 5 years ago.

i read here about so many people having issues with streaming using a computer and multiple DACs. Just get a LUMIN (the D2 runs $2,200) and get back to enjoying the music.

i am considering moving up to the T2, but it costs $4500. And it has the Saber DACs. But I like my Wolfson DACs in my D1.

Happy Listening!
