Newbie looking for suggestions on DAC & amp. Thank you!
The primary audio source will be my 2010 iMac, and occasionally I would listen to songs on my iPod Classic, iPod nano & iPhonee 4 too. I might also buy & try some other portable sources like Sansa Fuze+ or some Cowon playes. I understand that I can bypass iMac's internal soundcard and use a...- garcon
