Are there better quality alternatives?

Even after all these years, there isn’t really a solid competitor?

You can't be serious. All these years?
Melco has been around since 2014 ahead of BluSound.
If you are only concerned about price, there is Pro-Ject D$ for $100 more with +$100 in quality. Or build a better Ras Pi4/Topping system for far less $$.
Do some homework.
BluSound is a Divison of NAD. 
Loads of streamers out there. I am partial to Moon Mind2 have it in my 380. Also had the stand alone Mind2 running through the HAD 230 for a while.
Yes, streamers have been greatly improving and many options are available and the more you pay (in general) the better they sound. The streamer makes a big difference. Aurender has a great line of them, I have two. It’s easy to move files over network or pocket drive... or...
Thanks. Was not aware that these could rip.
