Musical Fidelity M6SCD vs Technics SL-G700M2

Looking for opinions on these 2 sacd/DAC units. If anyone has, or has had, one or both, chime in.

They have similar features, the Technics is slightly more expensive. Both list for ballpark $3K-ish

I play cd’s and stream Tidal. I have a balanced hi-fi, so require the XLR connects and USB/DAC.

Do either of these require installing a dedicated driver on my Asus Laptop to stream? If so, any issues with dropouts?

Coming from a Yamaha CD-S2100, which requires a Steinberg driver, notorious for dropouts and other issues.

Thanks!

I'm just a hi-fi enthusiast, so I haven't dug deep, I know I should learn more. The MF seems like a good choice in that price range. In my earlier years, I had Sansui (2000A), then Marantz (2245) receivers and Jensen XL700 speakers. This was in the early 70's. My car and my stereo were the most important things to me at the time. I blew all my friends stereos away! The Jensens were 4 way, and to my young ears, sounded great. My ex-wife stole them in the 80's. Women have come and gone, but my love for quality audio reproduction remains... I appreciate the advice.
