Dang, been reading about bit perfect streaming all morning and my head is beginning to hurt, there's just so much more stuff to learn... guess I'll do my research before any future upgrades regarding DACs, DAPs and streaming

Don't worry about streaming quality really. Bad or poor audio mixing in certain albums will always be more noticeable. A couple of examples are System Of A Down's self tilted album, and A lot of Avenged Sevenfold's earlier albums. Those will always sound poor regardless of the streaming quality or the medium you are listening through.

Just make it easy, get a portable dac / amp combo and let your IEM's do the rest of the work and you'll save yourself the headache and worry.

Oh sure, as a musician myself I understand that very well! There are many horrible sounding albums out there... Guess that was my compulsive perfectionism kicking in :) I'm better now, haha
