    I run LMS on a windows machine to an sbt running edo.

    But I find myself using a chromecast most of the time as the Spotify app is so much better than the LMS app and plugin.

    Both use the same dac and there is little between them. Sbt better on Spotify, cc better on ripped music from lms
    SBT/Chromecast/TEAC T1 into TEAC D-T1 DAC or olde-worlde Rega Planar 2 controlled by Rotel RC850 into HH S500D or DACT Passive Pre into Mullard 5-20 monos. Then into Tannoy Cheviots and a Wharfdale sub. All connected by colourful cables.

    How are they connected to your DAC?

    So cheap as chips SMPS on the sources.
    They won't help.
    The Chromecast optical has the advantage of being isolated from switching noise from the PSU, so won't pass it into the DAC.
