Any audiophile use computer (MacBook) as your audio streaming source?

Streaming music through a computer is yesterday's technology. It is way too noisy. If you get a separate streamer with an adequate ethernet line cleaning method you will know what we are talking about.

Use your noisy MacBook Pro, no problem. I use a noisy crappy computer too. However, you need a moat in front of your DAC so that the analog noise before the moat does not travel up the USB cable into the DAC.

I use the relatively cheap Sonore OpticalRendu. I ignore Ethernet since Fibre cable sounds better to me. Fibre cable is made from glass and cannot carry the analog noise from the gear before the moat. The fibre cable is the moat. 

Getting fibre into you home system can be done for under $100 via a network switch. Sonore has a complete solution for this, though I only use some of it since I already have network switches with fibre support.

If you are a ROON user (RATT protocol), this stuff is easy to do. They also support many other protocols which your Mac likely uses.

If you like a sound stage flat as a pancake use a PC.

@yyzsantabarbara Out of curiosity, what dedicated streamers have you compared to your computer?

I use Audirvana running on my Apple Laptop Computer 12-Core CPU 19-Core GPU 16GB Unified Memory 1TB SSD Storage.

Audirvana outputs the signal to my Bricasti M21 DAC using an Ethernet cable. The Bricasti M21 is recognized as a DNLA device and becomes a powerful media renderer offering pristine data transmission over long distances, without loss of signal or degradation. My sound quality is excellent.
