“A Your laptop’s sound card very well might detract from sound quality if it takes the CD-quality digital audio signal streamed from Tidal and converts it to analog. That’s because the digital-to-analog converters built into most laptops aren’t necessarily designed for hi-fi. If you use a digital connection interface such as HDMI, optical, USB, or Ethernet, however, the audio data will bypass the DACs in the computer’s sound card and be routed to your receiver for decoding. So, basically, you’re on the right track.”
