I have no opinion on the Musical Fidelity vs the Technics, but you really do need to dump the laptop and get a quality streamer such as Aurender or Innuos.
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!
