Do I Really Need a Dedicated Streamer?

Streamers are networking computers optimized for audio.

It will stream the same digits as your tablet.  Most streamers will do it much better than your tablet.  In digital audio timing is crucial.  If the 1s and 0s arrive slightly out of sync (this is called jitter) than the sound can change quite significantly.  Most streamers will beat a tablet or a phone because the portable devices are jack of all trades and haven’t been optimized for sound 

OP

you don’t really need a streamer.  As I mentioned up thread streamers are just networking computers that are optimized for playing audio files.  They also look like audio components and not like PCs.  They tend to dispese with the OS that PCs use and utilize OS optimized for music playback as opposed to say, trying to sell you stuff.

  If a PC, or tablet,sounds fine to you in your system, then you are done.
