Best Music Streamer to pair with Rogue Audio monoblocks and Pre-Amp

hi all,

I'm purchasing Maggies 3.7i to pair with Rogue Audio monoblocks and Pre-Amp (RP-5v2) and want to upgrade on my Bluesound Node.  Am considering the Hifi Rose RS250A, the Audiolab 9000N, and the Moon 280D.  

Any thoughts on a good pairing.

And I'm also thinking about adding 2 JL Audio subs, perhaps the E110.

I appreciate the collective wisdom of the community.

yes, I hate it when someone disagrees with me.  In that moment, I am compelled to tell that person that they don’t know what they’re talking about.  But I do wonder why i have no friends.  hmmmm…

@mdalton Maybe because they don’t like people who like to play mommy.  Hmmm.

ok, let’s do substance.  @jji666 said streamers don’t have a sound.  Completely reasonable, consistent with data and science,  Streamers handle a digital data stream, no conversion to analog.  The only possible differences across streamers is jitter and other noise, which is easy to measure.  Measurements of different streamers indicate de minimis differences re noise.  Therefore no differences in sound.  Many audiophiles experience no difference in sound across different streamers. Ergo, I’m your daddy.
