  There is no reason to debate about PC or MAC. If you want to hear full potential of your DAC keep away from computers. Computers will never sound good and it is weakest link in your chain. Source component is the most important component of them all. If you want to hear what your DAC can sound like buy good streamer. Buy Sonore microRendu + Small Green Computer microJukebox and be done with that. DACs will come and go, but good source component will stay and you will never want to go back to PC or MAC for music reproduction.

 
Your advice is to keep away from computers yet use a computer. A Sonore microRendu is a computer. A "Small Green Computer microJukebox" is a NAS with a CD drive and software for ripping CDs. They are both special purpose computers with special purpose operating systems, but they are still computers.
 
From the Sonore page:
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Sonore microRendu is an audiophile micro computer...
 
From the SGC page:
The microJukebox is a low power, Music Server NAS (Network Attached Storage)...

Nothing wrong with computers.

These products are designed for audio reproduction. Regular computer PC, MAC, notebook is not designed for audio reproduction. They are noisy and they are degrading the sound of your DAC.  You can just start with RASPBERRY PI 3 with HiFiBerry Digi+ and good linear power supply and you will get an idea how your DAC can sound like with good streamer.

The wyrd is more for the non-Uber magni, which is USB bus powered. It isn't really necessary for any of heir other products. That doesn't stop people from buying it for Schiit's other products, because you know audiophiles.

 
Confused, do you mean Modi?

Yes, sorry.

Channel imbalances, units not working, outputs comically off center against the casing. Yeah, sounds like Schiit product.

I seldom respond to the dyspeptic but I currently make an exception:
 
I am so disappointed that your testimony failed to note the pungent stench of our products.  You are a (former) customer aren't you?
 
To atone, I am having the production manager shot at dawn tomorrow after making sure you are refunded 10 times the price you paid.

Yeah, I'm a former customer. My Vali, like a lot of others had to be repaired. 
 
But hey, at least that Schiit didn't kill my headphones. That would be irredeemable for such a company, right?

Damn. I once had an electronic that needed to be repaired back in my day, dark days indeed.

Gosh, right now I'm enjoying the mimby, best DAC I've heard yet. A good night of listening, needed it!
