RE: Dedicated Streamer vs Laptop DAC

A dedicated streamer every day! PCs are not designed primarily for audio so their involvement in a hi-fi system should be limited to control. The signal shouldn't go anywhere near a PC.

You can still control your music and check the weather on your laptop once you've loaded the streamer's app. The BluOS app used by a number of brands including Bluesound and NAD can be loaded onto Android, iOS, Mac and Windows PCs and doesn't handle the signal - it just tells the streamer where to look and what to play.
