Tooled up with this lot for my assault on streaming music quality.
Cambridge Audio DACMagic 100
Optical cable to connect Chromecast for when I’m just around the house
USB Audio (printer!) cable for direct connection when I’m working on the kitchen and sitting in the sweetspot
Ifi Silencer USB noise filter
Tidal subscription
Swapped out Mordaunt Short M10s for Monitor Audio Bronze 2.
Sounds great, properly musical now. Can’t seem to get the Chromecast to operate at 96khz but need to play with the settings. Cable connection is unsurprisingly much better. Obvs those little M10s were a weak link before, they don’t sound much better than mini system speakers. The Monitor Audios are temporary while some smaller BR1s are in the post.
