Sound quality: Streamer with external DAC

[nopiano]

Bits should just be Bits and all streamers should sound the same
£99 Wiim streamer should sound same a £20,000+ Pink Faun , Grimm , Emerging , Nagra

Same with Dacs £199 Wiim should sound the same as a £250k DCS Varese or Wadax Reference

Fancy Network switches , Cables , Grounding , External PSUs & £5,000 internet cables should make no diiference

Node 2i with an external RME DAC looks like a good Combo
Wiim and a Cambridge would probably be a step sideways Unless you can increase your budget

I notice you carefully wrote ‘should’! 😉🤐😮
