... a streamer is a PC you have less configuration control over ...
Most streamers aren't personal computers at all. Most that I've used run on Linux, where you have pretty much total control because it's open source.
Need advice on media player and or dacs
Im new to this so be gentle please.
Im building a home theater system and value music quality as much or more than theater quality. I currently have a marantz cinema 60, anthem mca325 gen2 amp, paradigm founder 120f r&l, rel ht1205 mkii, and b&w center and surrounds. Will be getting a founder 90c in near future to replce my b&w center. Im looking into dacs and media players as i would like to compile a library of quality music. Not sure if i need a dac as the marantz allegedly has a good one built in. As far as media players, can they really improve quality? Wheres a good place to start? Info out there is a bit confusing
