I used a Mac Mini combined with Audirvāna for years. I decided to try a Bryston BDP Pi / linear power supply to my DAC with a USB cable and that was better. For storage, I bought a SSD and I installed it into an empty case with a USB cable and plugged into my Pi. The Bryston software is a bit of a pain but with Rigelian, I can navigate it well enough and it sounds exponentially better than Roon. Bryston is working on a monumental software upgrade. Anyway, I saw a showroom demo Pi online for around $600.00.
I Mac or Streamer for source? or is there a difference?
Hello.
Should I use my iMac or buy a dedicated streamer to download music ? my "amateurish" reasoning is that I am streaming music in bits and packages of bits, so should my hard earned money be spend in a very good DAC versus buying a dedicated streamer?
Just learning about streaming. Thanks for all your insights and opinions.
