We use an old MacBook Pro into a MHDT DAC. It seems to work fine and the sound with hi res files sound as good as the same out of the CDP
Music server vs. external hard drive to DAC
First posting here but 20+ years on AGon and the like. I’ve been told using a music service into a server into a DAC has a higher SQ than an external hard drive into same DAC? And there’s no need to spend big dollars on a server/DAC if a DAC is already in the chain. DAC is RME into variety of First Watt amps, QS tubes or Benchmark monos. Thanks
