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?

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.

Not having used a computer for streaming, only a lowly Bluesound node, I also agree with the majority that a dedicated streamer likely sounds better.
