Advice regarding streaming please.

Hello, I have an Audiolab 6000n streamer and think it’s now the weakest link, but I am not using the built in DAC as I’m using a Denafrips Pontus DAC , I’m wondering would a different / better streamer be any better at at put all those 1’s & 0’s into my Pontus DAC or at the pre-DAC point is it all the same? I’m an incomplete tetraplegic so any suggestions of CD/SACD or vinyl is not good for me.

+1 @djones51  At a certain point, this hobby stops being orgiastic buying and becomes something like work, but the fun work one puts into a puzzle or project. If one is not prepared to do that work, then an endless cycle of buying, selling, and posting awaits thee. To each his own.

My system is not top tier, but all in all not bad for money spent If you watch my vid the song is played through my Audiolab 6000n  SPDIF @ 44/16   l would like to get a more costly streamer on loan just to compare

I inserted a CD in my OPPO 105 the first time in the past 2 years and I was surprised how good my system sounded.  Maybe playing a CD sounds better than my BlueSound Node 2i?
