Kinda makes the new Mano ULTRA mkIII Farad look like a giant slayer. Ahead of reviews.        
Streamed music sounds awful in my system and I don't know why ....
You don't need Roon or a high priced streamer. If you can't figure out how to make the streamer you have work, ask for help. Or just accept the BAD sound.

And why again should I waste my time looking at this?    
would I benefit getting a balanced amp (BAT 55se) - given my pre-amp is RCA output
No don't even think of it unless you are soon replacing the pre   
Trying to convert my streaming service from Spotify to Qobuz.
Went from Spotify to Qobuz years ago, no issues. No needy no bogus iTunes.  
Streaming Spotify vs Tidal
Yes Tidal has had a Connect app feature since about 2 years ago but it still only works on limited devices. Qobuz is better and cheaper.
