As I got rid of my cd`s (after ripping them) and no longer poses a cd transport and my about 2000 titles are sometimes to less I am thinking about getting music streamed. Firstly to listen to new things and secondly should I like something to download some (hires) files. What I have found on internet Qubuz seems to be a better option for my purpose.
As I have not found a thread how a high end system to stream should look like and as a newby on this terrain I would like to ask a experienced Audiophiles how to make a high end System to stream Qubuz or Tidal. I have read some posts that one should use a high end USB switch (what is the purpose of this?) or a optical cable to get rid of all the electronic dirt that a router produce?! If so, how/what device should one use for it? Should I use a second router connected wireless to my home router? How important is a good usb cable? What usb switches or optical adapters(?!) do you use? Should it be used between router and streamer? What would be your recommendations for mid priced und money is no object Devices?
I listen do Chord dave connected to antipodes K50 via BNC cable.
I hope for a lively discussion
