Point of higher priced streamer?

Hello,
Assuming I have separate DAC, and I just want to play songs from iPad by Airplay feature.
In this case, I need a streamer to receive music from my iPad -> DAC.

What’s the point of high price streamer? I’m bit surprised that some streamers are very high priced.
From my understanding, there should be no sound quality difference.
(Streaming reliability and build quality, I can see it but I do not see advantages in terms of sound quality.)

Am I missing something? If so, please share some wisdom.

And I am pretty sure you will read this before it’s been deleted @atdavid, since you are a full time troll: I am very close to finding you, and will meet you in person soon. Next time you are in NY 😂😉

To clarify, chi-fi meant China Audio devices. As in audio stuff made in China, from Chinese “companies” reverse engineering stuff made in US, Europe, and Japan. Theft of intellectual property in a nutshell. Like pretty much with everything in world, not just audio. Call it racist, I don’t give a flying f+😍😍. It’s the truth. Coupled with a full blown marketing campaign using the troll factory imports & Google searches, then we have what we have here.

Do you think that companies such as aurender or innous or 432 Evo could succesfully sell and market an entire line of servers if there was no sonic improvement between models which are more expensive from one another? "
No doubt about it. You can sort of pretend w analog but digital - if the ones & zeroes get thru, thats all there is.

@thyname, thank you for being true to who you are and having the decency to broadcast your racist roots. It makes it much easier for the rest of us to know how to treat you.

FWIW, despite their large population the Chinese are not a race unto themselves.
