I want to improve my strange setup that has 3 sources:
1. PC ---> Motu M4 ----> SRH 1540/JBL 305P MKii
2. Nintendo Switch -----> HDMI Audio extractor (I hate it) -----> Motu M4 -----> SRH 1540/JBL 305P MKii
3. LG C1 -----> Nothing :'(
The audio interface hasn't toslink input and my HDMI audio extractor ((which produces ugly noises) doesn't support HDMI-Arc so I can't use my monitors/headphone to see netflix/primevideo, I also want to change the HDMI audio extractor for a better solution.
I was thinking buy a DAC with optical input to do:
Nintendo Switch -----> LG C1 ----> DAC ----> Motu M4---->SRH 1540/JBL 305P MKii
if it supports UAC1 mode, it could also do the following
Nintendo Switch ----> DAC -----> Motu M4---->SRH 1540/JBL 305P MKii
Any recommendations for a DAC or better suggestions?
pd. to keep in mind that in the future I plan to get the HD8XX, I don't know if the MOTU M4 amplification is enough or if it requires a separate amp.
