I am under the impression that the "effect" of a computer on sound quality depends on the software used to send the music file to the DAC.The major piece you’re missing is noise. Computers, especially if they’re used for things other than just playing music, infuse noise into the signal that good dedicated streamers largely avoid.

The Reviews are pretty gorgeous for the money - But I won't be able to listen to it all until I un-box it all and set it up. A risk for sure....but then a lot of fun...!
