Streamer apps critical

+1 Aurender conductor app. Excellent!
Because of the amount of information provided, works best with a pad vs a phone. Repurposed an old iPad mini for exclusive use with my Aurender running Qobuz. 
Moved from blueOS to conductor with skipping a beat. Both great apps.

+1 on the importance of ui/software in a streamer.  I went from a Node to a miniDSP SHD with Volumio.  Hardware was fine but Volumio was a horrible experience.  I even stopped listening to music.  My wife actually encouraged me to buy a new streamer!  Now when was the last time your significant other encouraged you to buy a new audio toy?  Volumio was that bad.  Anyway, I reluctantly dumped the miniDSP and went back to a Node, but this time with an LPS, an external DAC, and fronted with an English 8 switch.  To my ears, the SQ is fine with this (low cost) setup.

I have a Bluesound Vault 2i in my second system and an Aurender N200 in my main system.  

Both have been great, the Aurender is 4x more money but the build quality and support are top notch.   The Vault has been pretty much flawless in the 6 years I've owned it.  

Bluesound is the best platform for those new to streaming in my opinion.   Hard to beat for the money.  

I just moved from a BlueSound Node2 with LHY Audio power board and a LPS to a WiiM Ultra.

I’ve always stated the BlueOS is one of the best out there. The WiiM is as good, maybe even a little better, plus the Ultra is a fantastic unit. I really do think it sounds better than the Node2 combo.

I used both units as head unit, (streamer) only, via COAX output to my tube DAC.

The Eversolo App is easy to use and reliable in my experience. I have a Will Pro in my bedroom system. I use Tidal connect with the WiiM because I like the Tidal app UI better, I use the Eversolo app with my A8.

I used an RPI running PiCore Player before the Eversolo. I listen more because the Eversolo app is such a pleasure to use.

My experience - YMMV.
