Streamer question

streamers are dedicated computers designed to produce a pure low noise bitstream, and they rely on software to work and interface with the user and a menagerie of streamed music sources

the software aspect, and the integration of the software with a changing set of streamed music sources is a key variable... for example tidal connect is a form of service-to-streamer coupling software that must be properly coded into a streamer... i would be reluctant to rely on small makers to forever keep up to date on the ever changing streaming world and have their user interface and operating software fully up to snuff
