Hi there, looking for advice what streamer should I go for.

'Room Perfect' (or any other clever digital trickery) might well reduce or eliminate the frequencies that cause / exacerbate room resonances.Room Perfect does a very good job at removing unwanted resonances in an untreated room.
Surely, in an untreated room, the sound is also compromised and to be frank, physical room treatments often provide little WAF. I've also been down the separates road many times and in the end a single box which does everything is the right solution for me. Horses for courses I guess...'Room Perfect' (or any other clever digital trickery) might well reduce or eliminate the frequencies that cause / exacerbate room resonances.
But that means the sound you hear is necessarily being compromised - more than it would be if you really did remove the room's resonances with actual room treatment.
(I liken the compromise to going for 'forgiving' speakers to make poor recordings listenable.
Those poor recordings (sort of) improve, but the best ones will be, necessarily, compromised).
The products you mention are streamer /dac/amps, I'd spend the 2k or thereabouts on separate units, wiim pro plus for streaming /dac duties for the mean time and get a proper amplifier that......just does that job, digital technology is moving so fast, don't put all your eggs in one basket.
Sure can be.Surely, in an untreated room, the sound is also compromised
I'm in the polar opposite position with the bedroom come listening room.Sure can be.
In my untreated room the sound was beyond compromise - it was completely ruined by reverberation - making a mockery of any equipment 'upgrade'.
Physical treatment of two walls and a ceiling (cork / polystyrene tiles) was enough to kill the reverb - bringing an improvement that no electronic manipulation of the source sound could ever give.
WAF? probably not (definitely not for the real dictator types) - but fortunately I've never had to please anybody else.

for those piece's, the naim especially i'd be weary, they're getting very long in the tooth especially for a digital based product. The naim has been on the market now for 6-7 years!Hi there, looking for advice what streamer should I go for.

Whom performed the treatment…..im also looking into room acoustic modifications…Sure can be.

Nobody special - with nothing special.Whom performed the treatment…..im also looking into room acoustic modifications…
Looks spot on to me.Nobody special - with nothing special.
Just me, with what was readily available at the time.
The thickest wall tiles I could find and raised-pattern ceiling tiles.
Made more of a difference than you might imagine from looking at the photo below.
You can now buy some purpose made panels which are likely to be very effective (at a price).
