Hi,
Just wanted to discuss this. I have the Audio-GD compass DAC and the Onkyo TX-NR808 Av Receiver.
Headphones used for Blind Testing - Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro
I tried blind testing with several songs using both the receiver and the DAC and wasn't able to make out any difference between the 2.
So my question - Is a dedicated DAC (with HeadPhone preamp) really better than a decent AV Receiver?
It was good to have the DAC when i didn't have the receiver. But now that i have the receiver, i am not sure if the DAC is serving any purpose or not?
Thanks....
