Stream from my MacBookPro

[RBinDC]

I have an old MacBookPro (2014 model) with a 500 GB solid state drive. I want to download albums from Qobuz to the computer so I can directly stream music via USB to my Buchardt A500 active speakers. I want to bypass the DAC in the Mac because the A500s have internal DACs.

What additional software (If any) do I need to install on the MAC?

None.
If you have the Buchart hub, try Airplay
If you don't, a DAC with USB input and XLR out will do the job e.g. https://www.rme-audio.de/adi-2-dac.html

I have the Hub.

Airplay doesn’t stream at 24/96.

look for some UPnP/DLNA software for OSX.
This allows you to stream to the hub up to 24/192.
At least the max of WISA (hub to speakers) is covered as it is 24/96 max.

Wow! That’s great news.
