I used a Mac air for years and to my ears it sounded fantastic. I did tried dedicated streamers from the the Eversolo 6, master and 8. I even tried a Hi Rose 130. Not even it was appreciably better. The Aurender N200 got slightly better. It took 12k and a Aurender n20 to get noticeable better. That what I have now feeding my Holo may Kte.
Any audiophile use computer (MacBook) as your audio streaming source?
I rarely see any audiophile talking about streaming audio digital sources from a computer. I understand MacBook can accept native lossless formats form all the various platforms, and it can store unlimited music files in any format, so supposedly it’s the best source, and the digital file is the most purest before it’s fed to the dac. Anyone compared the sound quality of computer vs other audio streamer?
