Streamer question


Currently looking for streamer undecided.
Looking at Lucas Audio Lab Mini
Or Musica Pristina Cappella
Both are custom made by all boutique builders.
Both in the 3k to 4k USD
 mark.
Anyone have any experience with either of them
Thanks

what @ jjss49 said.  Even Bryston a respected hardware supplier of streaming devices , IMO, struggles with the software side of their streaming devices.  Having said that their streaming  devices sound great.  On the flips side look a Sonos; midfi hardware at best but have captured a large segment of the streaming market by focusing a producing superior software.
I recommend a Raspberry Pi. It's what I use in my system with my Benchmark DAC3. Sounds great!

100% agree with yage69. RPi 4 with a decent HAT and power supply is less the $500. Add a lifetime subscription to Roon and you still have $$$$$ for a better DAC, or amp, or room treatment. There is no better streaming interface than Roon, period. Read Darko or Twittering Machines. A streamer is just plumbing. Don’t overpay!
