Evening,
My current system includes Cyrus Pre X Vs preamp and a Cyrus Smartpower power amp. I'm currently upgrading my speakers (PMC) so likely to purchase another Smartpower and run both in mono.
I'd like to jump on the streaming bandwagon properly and stream Tidal and other hi res music (hopefully Spotify will get their act together and start the HiFi quality music). Currently I'm listening to streams through my Audio Technica headphones, using my laptop through a little Cyrus Soundkey and sounds pretty good.
For the best quality for my HiFi system, am I best purchasing a standalone streamer such as the Bluesound Node etc, or purchase a separate DAC with a USB input from my laptop?
Thanks
Chris
