For those that have separate Streamers & DACS

What are some of your favorite streamers/servers strictly from a sound quality perspective?  Please assume a stand-alone DAC.  I've read such a variety of opinions on streamers and was interested in opinions from those that have tried different streamers on with their DACs.

Bluesound NODE $600.  Lumin T2 $4500.

I have a NODE and it is working well for me.  I don’t know how much better an upgrade would sound, because I’ve never hear anything else.

@tcotruvo I have a Node and upgraded the power supply by swapping in this board. Found the power supply for a fraction of MSRP on ebay. Sounds wonderful.

He still sells the Backert Labs and McGary, and yes most of it came from him.
