Options besides a computer for streaming

Hello,

I Have a older MacBook Pro that I have been streaming tidal with thru my Lampizator dac.

it sounds very good but lately my battery want hold a charge and sometimes it want play without trying several times.

 Basically it’s old and I was considering replacing it, but then was thinking since it’s dedicated just for music playback. Perhaps there’s a better choice for similar cost of a new MacBook?

any info appreciated especially from Lampizator owners.

thanks, Scott

I mostly stream Tidal, 99% of my digital listening

I just started another discussion, I also have a Lampizator transport.

still trying to figure it out but it’s supposed to have a modded Logitech squeezebox inside.

with that connected would I still need to connect my dac to my MacBook?

That’s what I was thinking, but haven’t been able to get it up and running just yet. 
But the transport has a streamer no need for MacBook?

I I have it connected to my home network but can’t get it to connect to Logitech site

i have been scrolling thru the threads and one poster said you still need a server with this transport.
 I will try and ask the manufacturer

I did figure out how to use the streamer built into the transport and it sounds quite good, it’s sp dif cable and not usb but it’s working!

the tiny screen on the remote is my only complaint 

thanks for the info

You lost me there, how would I hook a phone to my dac?

I have noticed a lower noise floor, and downloaded SqueezePad so I can use my iPad as a remote.

the Lampizator sounded so good before but now it’s even better.

thanks for all the reply’s
