Hi, I'm very new to the whole audio community so I apologize if this is a very 'noob' question.
My desktop rig is a woo audio WA7+ODAC; I recently just purchased a Hugo and I wanted to pair the Hugo as a standalone DAC with the WA7 amp. I'm sure this has been discussed in this thread but I'm only on page 40 of this thread since i started reading this last week
So my question is, what kind of end to end cable do I need to use to make the Hugo a standalone DAC? I know the WA7 uses the RCA input for one end so what would I need for the other end? RCA? Coaxial? 3.5mm jack?
Currently, I use the RCA to 3.5mm jack to connect my ODAC, and then from my ODAC, a mini-USB to USB to connect my laptop. Again, very sorry if this is a dumb question
I have the same setup that you're talking about - Hugo as DAC into WA7 as amp. Like Cosmic said, I think you'll find that the Hugo does good enough on it's own without the WA7. I'm finding that the WA7 doesn't add anything. I'm curious to see if you find the same.
