Hello getting into the streaming world. And my question is :do I invest in a Mac book or a streamer ? Or should I approach streaming in a differenent way? My budget is around 1800 dollars. Thoughts? Thank you for your help. Rockanroller.
Depends on what you want to stream. Local files? Streaming services? The computer used for other things? What are you connecting this to, a system with speakers or a headphone system?
computers are inherently "noisy" and not built specifically to handle just music. IMO, a streamer is a better choice with a dac you like. I use a one box solution, a Lumin T2. Previously I ran a MacMini and did everything possible to make it "sound good" The T2 was so far superior it's not worth a comparison.
