Hi all,
I am hoping maybe others here can point me in the right direction with some suggestions.
I have a setup at home that I am very happy with overall. AG Uno XD with VAC Master preamp, LUMIN U1, triode Corp 300B mono amps, Berkeley Ref Dac.
Not infrequently, I enjoy powering up a “silent” PC that sits on my audio rack and live webcasting Phish concerts (or other jam bands) through a browser, generally Chrome. I have a nice Sony TV/monitor that sits over rack and I generally leave off unless webcasting or chilling with TV. I know live streaming via a PC will always have audio limitations, but I am wondering if there are any simple suggestions to have the best audio possible for these fun live events. What I do currently is just remove the Kubala Realization USB from my LUMIN, plug into PC, and run the sound through my DAC.
Apple TV supports the LivePhish and NugsTV services with apps, but I am inclined to think sound might be worse with these?
my PC is now probably 7 years old. I am somewhat clueless here. Is there an obvious PC upgrade that would have the best possible audio configuration to integrate with a Berkeley DAC. And upgrade my sound for these webcasts? Do you think difference in sound would be noticeable with a new PC?
Any my thoughts or suggestions are much appreciated.
thanks
Justin
