Options besides a computer for streaming

Hello,

I Have a older MacBook Pro that I have been streaming tidal with thru my Lampizator dac.

it sounds very good but lately my battery want hold a charge and sometimes it want play without trying several times.

 Basically it’s old and I was considering replacing it, but then was thinking since it’s dedicated just for music playback. Perhaps there’s a better choice for similar cost of a new MacBook?

any info appreciated especially from Lampizator owners.

thanks, Scott

If your transport has a streamer, then you wouldn’t need a MacBook or any additional device.
I would reach out to Lampizator for setup support.

I I have it connected to my home network but can’t get it to connect to Logitech site

i have been scrolling thru the threads and one poster said you still need a server with this transport.
 I will try and ask the manufacturer

Why not use your phone?  Even an older phone on wifi only.  Tidal will work fine.

I did figure out how to use the streamer built into the transport and it sounds quite good, it’s sp dif cable and not usb but it’s working!

the tiny screen on the remote is my only complaint 

thanks for the info
