Better DAC or better Streamer

Thank you everyone.

System dependent. I've heard discernible differences between DACs and music servers. 

We are a chord dealer  and   we sell the remarkable 432evo servers

that is a hard decision in our experience a really good server streamer can make a very noticeable improvement in musicality.

Better DAC ! Cause through a DAC you could run several different sources like a streamer. 

There are plenty of good streamers out there but finding one with decent software is a challenge. Many people recommend Aurender but in my experience while the SQ is excellent the conductor software is lacking. I finally settled on Antipodes with Squeeze software which is adequate but far from perfect. I'm looking forward to Qobuz Connect which again while not perfect would be a step in the right direction. But to address the question I believe the DAC will have more impact on SQ than the streamer. DACs can sound significantly different and I would not limit myself to Chord and would try as many as possible within your price range.
