Do I Really Need a Dedicated Streamer?


Hello. I have my iPad connected via USB to my excellent Chord DAC. I use Spotify mainly to stream. Why do I need a separate streamer (Wiim or BludSound Node) to play my music? Is a streamer just a convenience?

If you want it to sound good you do need a decent quality streamer fs a Mac,or windows computer and of quality with LPS power supplies 

and a DDC or Reclocker helps if you have a $1500 or under streamer.,

even helps your dac in many ways.

 

Whoever would say a pc is as good soniclyas a good

Or even decent streamer has never heard a decent audio system

And your ethernet cabled as well as usb and I2S  cables

Are equally important  if you want optimum 

Results i have compared many for digital

Tubulus Audio cables especially Digital cables.
