I need help to select a music streamer

I am so far looking at three music streamers to purchase.
1.  Bluesound
2.  Roon
3.  Bel Canto eOne

So far, I think the Bel Canto to be the best choice.  I wonder what the members of this group would recommend in the $1,500 budget range?  If you recommend a certain brand, I would like to know why it might be a better choice.

I will be streaming this to an ARCAM AVR 550.

Thank you.

I use Bluesound Nodes for my systems-outputted to Ayre Codex's.
The Bluesound DAC isn't bad for the money, but it isn't great.
The Ayre's really open things up. Other than Ayre, I would consider Schiit Yggy's or Gungnir for an equally good match.
No experience with Roon or Bel Canto, as I have all I need.

Phil,

i will I’ll be hard wiring using CAT6.  I also stream tidal.  I want to be able to stream 24 bit and MQA.  I have an ARCAM AVR 550.  Wonder how good the DAC is?
