Will a wireless streamer add problems to a signal coming out of a computers USB output?

Not sure, but I do know that mine interferes with my tubed phono preamp, as it sits about a foot away. I tend to just unplug the streamer and that solves the issue. I’d move it further away, but I like where it is for convenience and the fact that the interconnect is not that long.

I took a leap by buying  a streamer to add to the dac I just bought. Thanks for all the help.
 

Congradulations! Good move.
 

My streamer is the most expensive component in my system before (and equal) to my amp… well worth it. You can’t recover or reject what comes from the first piece in your audio chain.

My wife... does not have audiophile ears. Maybe some of you can relate to this…

I totally relate. It’s not that she doesn’t hear; she also doesn’t care.

I used my MacBook Pro for streaming, with a Halide Bridge through USB to Dac. Realised this had a ceiling, and eventually upgraded to a streamer. Does your streamer connect via wifi or ethernet? Ethernet is better. And if looking at next steps, an audio network switch would improve things even more.

The streamer can do either Wi-Fi or ethernet. I’m going with ethernet. As far as the connection between the streamer and the DAC, I happen to have an optical cable, so I’m going to try that. Anyone have a point of view about what’s the best way to connect them?
