Need explanation of SPDIF vs USB vs COAX
I'm considering buying the Schiit Bifrost. The USB addon is $100 extra. So... the point of using an external DAC is to get it outside of the noisy pc case, right? So through the usb, you get un-touched un-altered pure sound. Right? so, if you use spdif, that comes from either the...- bleudeciel16

Dac recommendation for Burson HA-160
Any recommendations on a good source for the burson HA-160. I'm thinking of the following options: a) Get the HA-160D instead of the HA-160. b) Get the Arcam rDac. c) Cambridge Magic (or something like that). Any opinions? It'll be the same money for the most part. I expect DAC...- MangoMonkey
