The streamer made all three of these DACs sound better. Key improvements were a broader soundstage, more precise placement of instruments/voices, better bass definition, and a better sense of musical flow. Not sure if the difference will be the same from an iMac vs my PC laptop. Also, adding a jitter reducer such as an Audioquest Jitterbug can be worthwhile as well for more of the same benefits as a streamer provides.
I Mac or Streamer for source? or is there a difference?
Hello.
Should I use my iMac or buy a dedicated streamer to download music ? my "amateurish" reasoning is that I am streaming music in bits and packages of bits, so should my hard earned money be spend in a very good DAC versus buying a dedicated streamer?
Just learning about streaming. Thanks for all your insights and opinions.
