New high resolution SACD releases, players and technology.

Hard to say...

If you can manage a streamer with Ethernet input, maybe. Most of the better choices are Ethernet.

If you are limited to WiFi then maybe your laptop is fine. Also, depending on the year of your MacBook Pro you MIGHT have a TOSLINK output inside the headphone jack (my early 2015 Retina MacBook Pro does) and I find this a better option than USB for up to 24/96.

Two other options I have with Ethernet are a uRendu and Raspberry Pi. The uRendu is USB and the Pi is S/PDIF. I'd say the laptop is about the same as the Pi, sound-wise, while the uRendu is maybe a bit better than even my dedicated Mac Mini.




First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass
