Hi everyone,
I've been thoroughly enjoying my MSB Premier since I got it, especially when using the ProUSB input directly from a PC running Roon. But lately I've been wondering if replacing my PC with a high end streamer and/or server would add any sonic benefits. If I understand correctly, the almost total isolation the ProUSB provides means that the upstream source matters little. So if that's the case my PC would be equal to a dedicated streamer or server.
However I'm wondering if anyone has ever tested this. Any MSB owners who have tried the ProUSB or Digital Director both with a regular computer and a good streamer/server? If so I'd be really curious to know if you heard any differences between the two.
Thanks!
