Point of higher priced streamer?


Hello,
Assuming I have separate DAC, and I just want to play songs from iPad by Airplay feature.
In this case, I need a streamer to receive music from my iPad -> DAC.

What’s the point of high price streamer? I’m bit surprised that some streamers are very high priced.
From my understanding, there should be no sound quality difference.
(Streaming reliability and build quality, I can see it but I do not see advantages in terms of sound quality.)

Am I missing something? If so, please share some wisdom.

You mean knowledgeable and not susceptible to flowery but technically in context meaningless words.

Wow. Ego-boner meter is off charts.

Please point me to your own site, or blog. I will be glad to visit. Although I am pretty sure it does not exist, other than from the bots at the Troll Factory in St.Petersburg

I’ve been reading this post with great interest since I’m in the market for a streamer/dac combination. One issue that was not mentioned at all in this discussion was room correction. I’ve read and have verified in my own system that room correction can play a major role in enhancing the overall quality of the sound produced by the system. I have only found a handful of streamer/dac systems that can perform room correction on their own. One example is the minidsp shd. Wouldn’t room correction play perhaps a more important role than increasing a few dbs in SINAD beyond a certain level?
Not sure you were trying to insult me here, but when Mark Twain wrote this, he was not talking about people like me, but about people convinced about things like the the earth being flat, or the virus is a hoax, or that fuses make a dramatic difference in sound, or that masks can't provide any protection, or power cables need burn in.  He was not talking about people who actually know what they are talking about, he was talking about people, absent any real knowledge on a topic, convincing themselves of the superiority of their views. Not their knowledge, their views.
