Which laptop to stream Spotify to integrated amp via DAC?
I was using a 2010 Windows 10 machine for streaming Spotify using Connect. I don't know the apple world. But if Spotify is all you need, you are fine with that 2013 machine, provided Spotify is compatible with the OS on that machine. For example T...

Should I Sell My Oppo 203?
@garthb309,If the purpose of the Oppo was to watch Blu-ray/dvd, the I say sell it and get a streaming device. You will get most of the money back.OTOH if you want to use it as a DAC and do not intend to buy an external DAC, then do keep it. It may...
