Melco N100 vs Sonore opticalrendu

Hi

I am currently using a laptop connected to my dac (denafrips terminator) and would like to upgrade my source. 

Being new to this, would like to ask for experience between melco N100 (paired with a plixir linear power supply) and sonore opticalrendu, as I have heard good things about both. 

Which would be better? And would I need to get a music server for the sonore? (To prevent the jitter/noise from my laptop to still dirty the stream going into the sonore?) 

Aiming for a larger and more relaxed soundstage, with darker background. Other benefits eg sweeter and softer mids, better imaging are of course appreciated :)

Thanks!

Regards
Ben

For sure your computer by far the dirtiest part ofyour system ,you need a dedicated server 

small green computers Sonore , you want usb module from computer 

the i9 is great fiber optic , then usb out  with a good power supply  They have a nice $600 one that can do several voltages at once ,

pot Teddy pardo ,shipping from Canada , the only hassle is shipping around $70

unless you spend $1500 for a few power supplies then it’s free , quality products.
