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

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!  
I follow the path of yage69 and x5owner1 with a little different twist. These days some DAC's have streaming capability designed into the product. Go look for a DAC with an internet connection port or Wi-Fi and work from there.
