Hey guys.
I have finally decided to take the plunge and buy my first portable amp but I have a few questions.
If I bought an amp with no DAC it could only be used with my iPod as a source, correct?
If I bought an amp with a DAC I could use it with my iPod as a source and also my computer, correct?
If I bought an amp/DAC would I need a decent soundcard in my computer to make the most out of it?
Would an amp/DAC be better than just an amp for my iPod?
Basically I just want to improve my listening experience with clearer music. I generally only use my iPod as a source but having over 200GB of music stored on my computer makes me wonder if a DAC would be a good option too. I'm just not sure how the DAC could be an advantage as I don't really understand how it works. Any info would be great.
