Streamer question


Currently looking for streamer undecided.
Looking at Lucas Audio Lab Mini
Or Musica Pristina Cappella
Both are custom made by all boutique builders.
Both in the 3k to 4k USD
 mark.
Anyone have any experience with either of them
Thanks

I have a few streamers: Orchard Audio PecanPi, LUMIN U1 Mini and a Sonore UltraRendu. I am happy with all of them. But granted I have a little bit of a complex chain from the switch to the streamer, but sometimes the UltraRendu loses its IP address. I switched it out for the LUMIN and I haven’t had that problem yet. 
As a former owner of an Innuos Zenith Mk3, I believe that the combined Roon core server/streamer market is very overpriced. I sold it, and replaced it with a fanless Azulle Inspire i5 mini PC with ROCK installed.  I will be selling this soon, as for fun,  I upgraded it to an Intel NUC10 i7 in an fanless Akasa case. This runs my Roon core and the streamer is separated in a different unit. The SQ is fantastic. Roon remote and Roon run quicker and better. Plus it is a satisfying little DIY project.
