Not saying the above set up is best. It is not. It is natural sounding, minimal boxes and reasonable money for the level of sound quality….excluding the cost of my particular dac.
Thanks for the example set up, you have a clear idea of what I’m seeking to do. Interesting you mentioned modem/router combo. I’ve been looking at high quality examples of those. Will connect with LAN cable to streamer then DAC.
I will aim for the best sound quality I can obtain through this simplified scenario. Just not interested in the alternative multiple box/cable routine. I’m confident I can acquire sound quality that will make me happy. @sns , Broadcom chip unit is preferable to an Intel. I’ll check that out.Thanks.
