Hello all,
First time poster here. I just picked up an Aune T1 MKII and am enjoying it so far. I do have a [noob] question that I couldn't find any search results for and am hoping it is an easy one.
I'm wondering what the difference in line in versus USB input is with this unit. I have it connected to my computer via USB and selected the T1 MKII as my playback device via the computer sound settings panel. With this setup, in USB mode, does playback use the Aune DAC, or the computer's? What is the difference with line in? My thoughts were that line in should be used when your music is coming via the source cable input instead of USB and would probably only utilize the amp function, not the DAC. Is this correct? If so, I'm guessing that I am in fact using both the AMP/DAC while in USB mode. Thanks in advance!
