In Reply to: Dedicated Streamer vs Laptop DAC posted by highendfan on January 6, 2025 at 18:48:45:
I am with you in that I use a windows laptop for streaming. I have my favorite albums ripped to the laptop and some of them sound a little better than same album on Tidal. I bought a Wiim Mini out of curiosity and my laptop sounds a little better streaming Tidal. The dac I did the comparison on is a Smsl VMV D2r.
I would like to learn more about what sonic improvements can be had from more expensive streamers but haven't seen many comparisons to laptops.
I get it where streamers can be more convenient for some users, but I also have a friend who ditched his Cambridge streamer for a Mac Mini because he finds the Mini easier to use and it sounds as good or better.
With all due respect, I would suggest you consider upgrading your dac before spending a lot on a streamer. I have owned the E30 and it's very good for the money but for a few hundred more you should be able to find something a little more musical.
