Delivering the best Tidal streams

[Bertie]

I’m currently running Tidal via Roon on a Mac Mini. The Mac is connected via Ethernet to my router: the Dev is also connected to the router. Would there be any SQ benefit in purchasing a separate streamer to play Tidal or should I carry on using Roon for the feed? I am using Roon’s Parametric EQ and adjustments to balance and gain between the speakers, as I sit off-axis. If I stick with Roon on the Mac, am I missing any tricks to maximise delivery to my Dev? Thanks, Paul.

I would say that the best, or even maybe the only way for you to get an answer to your question, is to try a different streaming solution in your own system.

Getting rid of the computer in the signal chain and replacing it with a dedicated streamer makes in most cases a significant difference.
