I have a DAC (Schitt Bifrost) that I like. If I buy a basic Bluetooth receiver, like the Emotiva BTR-1, with digital output and run it through the DAC, is there any reason to consider an all-in-one streamer, like the Bluesound Node, for example? Do they have benefits over a simple BT receiver and DAC? I mostly listen to Spotify when streaming.

    Get away from spotify, or none of it really matters. They mangle sound badly. I have compared my original files to what comes over spotify, and they kill my tracks badly. Not sure why audiophiles haven’t moved onto Qubuz or even Tidal.
