Hi
Past 8 years I've been running my D250 with a Mac mini and Audirvana (currently studio) + Qobuz. Since I had to replace the Mac I've been on USB rather than AIR (still no support for current OS on Macs). It's been OK, but my vinyl source is way better in terms of separation and sound stage. Thinking I need to do something about that.
Any experience of the DMP-A6 streamer? It will still be USB though so may not make a difference, but I could move the Mac to another part of the house.
Roon then is a separate issue, but is it a better way of connecting up than UpnP?
Also, presumably I could just upgrade the D250 to PRO CI and stream directly?
Lots seems to have moved on in 8 years and there are a confusing array of options....
Tx
