The Sony is a proprietary server that only plays it's own file format. I won't go that route. The MackBook Pro is an excellent PC to use as a server/renderer. I have the PS Audio NuWave DSD DAC and find it to be an exceptional DAC. I would include an optimization program in the Mac to really help in SQ. A LPS is a big deal with CA. I'm to a point that is much better than I've ever heard with a CD player. Good luck.
What's needed with my Macbook Pro to stream music like they do at HI-FI shows?
Ok, Everytime I read the show reports I always see the manufacturers using a MacBook Pro hooked-up to their system. No one uses dedicated streamers. So, my question is what Dacs, software, and cables (USB, optic, etc,) are they using. I have a krell amp and MartinLogan speakers. I am contemplating a ps audio dac with wireworld USB, and J. River software.
