My experience after lost of 20k$

Yes, I think it is. Apparently it’s 1995 and the internet is just starting and Gateway is the darling of the pc world :).
In all seriousness, I get sticking with years of investment in preexisting “legacy” technology if it sounds great to you and you are satisfied go with it. This hobby should be about enjoyment more than nervousa when the lights go off, drink in hand, with Bill Evans and Tony Bennett bringing great joy (describing my current moment); however, for one starting from scratch, a system optimized for music streaming is very compelling. Happy listening!

Amir57bs-you don’t have $20k in that digital setup and those pieces you described are far from the best. You can get a much better digital setup for 1/2 or even 1/3 of $20k. Actually, IMO, you don’t want to go with a pc/Mac front end or using usb to hook up an external dac.

Roon Nucleus with a WD 2 tb USB drive to a streamer of your choice.  I recommend a Bryston Bdp 3 to a BDA 3 DAC.  Even with some snazzy cables that rig runs in way under 10k.  No PC, no Apple.  Rip files via db poweramp. Ripping does require a computer with a drive.   Add Tidal and just listen to music.

Maybe all he needs is to burn in his USB cable a little more. Lmao. 

There maybe a valid point underneath everything here.  PC Audio can be very good, but at best, it may equal, but not exceed, the best disc based replay.  Frequently, it doesn’t meet the standard of disc based replay.  I would put the cash in the increasingly difficult task of finding a good CDP, and use file based replay as a less expensive and perhaps more convenient alternative.
