Any audiophile use computer (MacBook) as your audio streaming source?

This is absolute garbage advice by someone who clearly has no idea what they’re talking about.

I don’t understand why anyone would call what someone else writes "absolute garbage" over something so trivial as a person giving their opinion that a computer is good versus a dedicated streamer.

Everyone is entitled to their own devices and opinions.

I have used both apple and pc as my sources. The quality of sound from my streamer is definitely superior if only due to how much cleaner the sound is without all the extra processing noise being generated by the cpu/sytem as it was being a cpu for other things not related to music...

@jetter Trust me, that guy is probably the only one who would make such a bullying statement on Audiogon for now. Just ignore him. When a mad dog barks at you, do you bark back? No—you ignore it and walk away like nothing happened. It shouldn’t bother you or anyone else.

That said, to be fair, I moved from a fanless MacBook to a dedicated streamer and noticed a clear improvement in sound quality. There are affordable devices like the Wiim Pro/Plus on Amazon with a hassle-free return policy. It comes with GEQ/PEQ and room correction that probably only exists in much higher end streamer. Give one a try to see if your system reveals better sonic attributes...

Definitely experiment with your cabling. The streamer you have should be blowing the water out of your PC.
