spend on the streamer or on the DAC ?

@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?

@facten if you’re looking for real world advice, you can always ask grannyring. Great system btw. 

"Heat" LOL! Enjoy whatever it is you're listening to; I know I am

Txs arafiq. The room isn't optimum but it works for me nonetheless. Yes, I have followed Bill's aka grannyring's posts and always have found him very insightful and knowledgeable
