Been using an off the shelf Dell (which I rip CD’s to as well as stream) to an Arcam DAC for years and and while it may not be the ultimate in sound reproduction, it is certainly not "dreadful". I do not hear the computer noise that many complain about.
It's time to do it! Please, your help....
Hi there, hope all is well.
I've put it off as long as I could!
I now want/need to add computer audio to my system. Please note, if you haven't guessed already,I am in no way a "computer guy"
My thought is to build a high resolution library from HD tracks or whomever you have had a good experience with.
Streaming is not something I'm interested in at the moment.
I have a Mac Desktop with Sierra 10.12.6 ( the highest upgrade this unit can handle) a MHDT Labs- Steeplechase 2 USB DAC ,a good quality USB cable and I just bought a dedicated 4TB G-DRIVE USB G1 USB 3.0 Hard Drive for storage to get started.
What type of "player" would you recommenced and other advice to get started.
Thank you all in advance and Happy Holidays!
