spend on the streamer or on the DAC ?

I a considering splashing north of 5000 (euro) for a new source for my rig (MOOON 340i, OPERA QUINTA speaker, McIntosh SACD, Node2). Better to spend more for the DAC or the streamer ? I was thinking about a Schitt yggrasil.Or would it make sense to spalsh on a more expensive DAC and use the Node2 as a streamer, or, for that matter, stream from my Macbook Pro. Regards.

@dannad " Given your room, speaker placement, and what s between your speakers @facten, I don't think there is much value in "debating" DACs. It would be window dressing on far far bigger sonic issues "
Well gee I'm sorry that it doesn't pass muster with you. Is it optimum , never said it was , it's in my living room but sounds fine nonetheless. Do tell, where will we find a picture and listing of your set-up?
