I recently purchased a Benchmark DAC3 HGC. I am streaming Qobuz from a Mac Book Pro (2020 version) to the USB input of the DAC. Since the DAC has volume control, I am able to send the output directly to an older Carver amplifier. This sounds very good to me even though the amplifier needs some updates. This particular DAC handles the output from computer streaming very well. Just my two cents.
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.
