Hello everyone !
I ve just received my dac1 pre 3 days ago and I have to say it sounds rather nice
I'm still waiting for him to warm up a bit more before doing test against my current configuration !
I was just wondering what could be the best transport that can be used ?
I have right now an HTPC that is dedicated to HC with an emu1616m connected directly to a power amp (rotel 1077) and I'm in the process of switching from a 5 channels system to a 2 channels one if improvement is really worth.
And I was wondering if changing the transport could improve the sounds ? I was thinking about a SB3, an EEEPC (when they ll release one with a touch screen) , Airport express, AppleTVor any other slimdevice without DD....
Have people here tried those configurations ? PC, EEEPC , SB3, Airport, AppleTV ? USB or Toslink ?
Furthermore I've read the best configuration is to avoid resampling in the player (foobar or other) and let the DAC do the resampling ? Can anyone confirm that there is no need to resample in Foobar ? (Even at 110 Khz ?)
Thanks in advance for the replies !
PS : It s nice to see staff from Benchmark so active on the forums
