Hey guys, I've come up with a question regarding using my computer for audio. I have an on-board sound chip (realtek) and was thinking of buying a DAC (Schiit Audio's Modi along with its amp the Magni). Now I'm not exactly sure how it works when it comes to whether the sound goes out through the USB or one of the jacks which are:
along with an HDMI port. And there's also the option of
I think I have read somewhere on the forum saying that the built-in chip IS a DAC, so I'm not really sure whether I need a DAC and thus can save some money. I'll be using a z1000/7520 which has a pretty low impedance of 24 ohms (there again, I'm not sure if I need an amp either). I'll using windows media player and ripping CD's in WAV format. An answer would be much appreciated
