I'm looking for a reasonable source/streamer for my Matrix DAC (Roon, Airplay, Spotify Connect) , that will be arriving shortly. One consideration is an Allo USB Bridge (with regular power supply). However I also have a Mac mini laying around. Would one be much better than the other, (noise/jitter etc) when using USB to the DAC ? Or is that simply taken care of and reduced by the DAC itself ?. Sound quality is subjective, however if one would obviously sound better to most people, then that would be interesting to know. Or if there are any other good/reasonably prices USB streamers, just let me know!
Also, is MQA/DSD only supported via a USB Interface in general ? I'm guessing due to the bandwidth requirements, that's a yes - but I can never get a clear answer on that.
Thanks!
