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?

Useful information here.

What I picked up reading through this thread:

- noticeable sound improvement is due to DAC

- noticeable sound improvement with streamer only at certain price range (ex. Aurender, etc)

- lower priced streamer advantage is mostly for convenience
