I was using my laptop with windows 10 and jriver to stream. I think the weak point is the computer because it is not a dedicated streaming device. I bought a bluesound node 2i and the difference was immediately noticed. Buying a streamer with only one purpose and operating software is the best way to go. There are many great streamers and servers that will be much better than a multi-use computer.
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
