Or USB to SPDIF if you prefer
I have a Bushmaster 7530 with my blu-ray and AK100 plugged in. I'd like to plug my PC in too, obviously no digital out or USB in on the DAC. I cannot continue to use my blu-ray as a disk reader (not all music on discs), and AK100 clips the end of my purchased mp3s. yay.
I like the style of the Bushmaster, i have just bought some AKG K702's for £160 and would like to buy an Amp soon
While i've read what head-fi has to offer, i'm still left confused on the whole subject. I've been most impressed with the AK100 --> Bushmaster --> DT990 premiums
It's perhaps not the best i can get? But not too fussed. I fail to understand how some USB to SPDIF converters cost lots, and others not. I had presumed it's all digital and no real processing is going on. Jitter seems a big argument here, is that all it's down to? If so my hearing experience and lower quality headphones shouldn't be of any issue here then?
Ebay has a FanMusic converter for £20 delivered. Legit?
Also where is everyone buying their stuff from? I've not been lurking here much recently and there doesn't appear to be any actual shops sponsoring Head-Fi.
Thanks in advance.
