My friend has a Marantz 8003 cd/sacd player. A very nice sounding player I might add. He did an A/B compare using the internal DAC versus the AUNE feeding from the Marantz as a transport. They were just about identical. It amazes me that a China direct DAC shipped to my door for $180 can sound that good.
Connect Laptop to DAC or preamp
Hello,
I've been spending a lot of time lately on you tube and have discovered some awesome concerts..... Would love to play this through my main stereo versus using headphones.
I know I can use the headphone out and convert to RCA connects and go into my preamp. Prefer not to as it does not provide the best in audio quality.
I have a AUNE DAC/Headphone amp with a USB input. Can I use the USB port on my Laptop connected to the USB port on the DAC? Would like to use the external DAC if possible.
Or, any other connect approaches that offer good sound quality?
Thanks!!!!!
