Streaming music

I currently stream Tidal and Qobuz from my laptop computer through USB to my Classe Sigma processor.  My amps are the Classe 2300 and 5300. Speakers are B&W 803D3.  I am being told my computer is the weak link in my system and that I should consider a music steamer to replace the computer.  For those of you who have made this change, were the improvements significant?  Also curious which streamer you went with.  I am considering the Lumin T2.

I have been very happy with the Auralic Aries G1. Excellent sound, and you can use it with either Roon or any DLNA client.

Beware! Moving from a USB connection to a streamer will make things more complex, unless perhaps you are using Roon. Streaming setup has three main parts: server, client, and renderer (the streamer), and your home network must work very well.

P.S. I auditioned a Classe CA-2300 and loved its sound. Great amp!
