Computer Upgrade

I do a lot of streaming over WiFi with Tidal and Classicsonline. When I had a Lenova PC running Windows 8.1 I had nothing but trouble. Constant dropouts, stoppages and sometines I could not even login. I then bought a MacBook Pro running Yosemite and everything works perfectly. I am now sold on Mac

Asynchronous USB sounds like it should solve all the problems but it really doesn't. The reclocking inside a dac creates packet noise which creates jitter which can effect the sound. My Metrum Hex is asynchronous but the choice of the source computer still made a major difference in the quality of sound.

Kijanki,
Do some research on packet noise and you will see that reclocking is not the perfect answer. It helps if the clock is really stable but that can vary even in real expensive dacs. The Uptone Audio Regen is a device design to reduce packet noise which is generated by the dac reclocking
