Topic: what is the best usb input for my adi2dc?

hello friends,
I have been using my adi2dac connecting to a desktop PC. I use headphone as primary listening device.
I am sure the adi2dac is one of the best dac/headphone combo in the market.
If just concerning sound quality,
is it worth to upgrade my source by switching from pc to  some network streamers(with usb output to the adi2dac), like Auralic aries, Sotm sms200, or Respberry Pi streamer?
Yours faithfully,
CK.

Irrelevant. Basically any OS, any player with ASIO support and when bitperfect test passes.

RME driver settings Dialog informs, whether USB data transfers work reliably.

Bitperfect test ensures that no loss happens potentially by either bad SW player or simply wrong settings therein.
