Thanks for your reply. I will be using a dedicated low-consumption WIndows 10 computer for streaming and the DAC will be located in the same room. Laying cables from the computer to the DAC, unfortunately, is not possible. In fact, I have been looking for a high quality DAC with wifi but these devices do not seem to be available. However your comment about the performance of the computer has me intrigued. Could you clarify why those computers you mention are not suitable? Does the UAT codec need high computing power?

Correct! When you combine the fact that streaming alone can use between 20% to 50% CPU, the UAT codec will add another 10%.

Super low end machines would be having CPU maxed out all the time causing usage spikes, audio lag would more then likely happen.

Thanks for the heads-up.
