Hard for me to believe an actual streamer could sound better
@robshaw Believe it — it’s a real thing. Your computer is very noisy, and although you won’t hear actual noise per se, the music quality suffers a lot, which you might not notice until you use a decent streamer. The difference is not small, and I’d strongly encourage you to at least demo a streamer in your system to see what you’re missing. I was skeptical too until I added a streamer, but there’s absolutely no going back. I control my music through Qobuz on my iPad or iPhone — easy peasy and no computer necessary. Just my $0.02 FWIW.
