The Cost of a Stand-Alone Streamer ..

is likely 10% streamer electronics and 90% case, sockets, power supply and cables. Yes, a total waste of money.

However, put that streamer module into a single case together with a DAC, preamp and maybe a power amp, phono stage, headphone amp and "room correction" DSP and things start to make sense cost-wise.

This is where you find real value in hi-fi, as all you need is a pair of hugely costly (but great) speakers and you'll be in audio heaven
