Somewhere in this thread some wellmeaning ignoramus said "you don’t need a dedicated streamer (vs a PC) for top notch performance".
This is laughably false, and even the least trained ear will immediately recognize the sonic difference between the highest-end PC and a lowish to mid-tier dedicated streamer like Eversolo or Limetree. Go up to Aurender, Lumin, Auralic and the sonic bump is again absolutely, undeniably evident.
Bluesound Node or Pii stuff is all cute. Once one goes next level up, one realizes how overhyped these things are.
And - linear power supply. Get a dedicated LPS from a good brand like MCRU. You'll hear it instantly.
