Not much unique about streamers in general. They are all just simple computers, most less capable than the $400 intel nuc kit, which is what I built mine from because I needed to run a windows driver to get native DSD out of the McIntosh C53 with roon.

I simply pointed out a less expensive streamer than the aurelic that also includes wifi.

There is no question that if one is inclined to DIY it could be done more cheaply.

I just ordered a yggy and have a microrendu with linear power supply laying around I will likely use with it.
