With all other things being equal, my streamer sounds better than my macbook

I don’t really follow how this is possible. Have you got some insane quality streamer or do they connect differently to the DAC? What DAC?

It’s the audio geek hot topic of the moment. There’s a whole lot been written about it elsewhere, it’s interference and clocking and “it’s not just ones and zeroes” etc. I tried my 3 different streaming transports back to back and there’s a significant difference to my ears.

Do the streamers output to USB? Anyways, ditch the laptop (compromised signal path) and try a Mac mini with that Topping DAC
