Technical question on sources for TT2:
I've been trying out Roon the last few days I'm seriously thinking about signing up, which leads me to think about having a dedicated streaming device, rather than just using my laptop as I do now with Hugo.
Does the galvanic isolation that TT2 benefits from obviate the need for an exotic device when feeding via USB? Do I need a high end audiophile product such as an Aurillac device, or would I do just as well with a small headless PC such as the Intel devices endorsed by Roon?
I'm asking this from a technical point of view, as I know it all gets very subjective once we get into this stuff. To give you an idea of where I'm coming from, I'm not the sort of golden-eared audiophile who perceives huge differences when A-B testing USB cables or wired vs wireless networks etc. I can notice bugger all difference when making those kind of comparisons and envy the people who can, but simply getting out of bed on a different day without changing any components can make a huge difference to the quality of my listening experience. The weakest and most influential component in my system is, and always will be, the grey jelly between my ears!
