Hello, I know what I'm asking below may not be something that a lot of you have really tested but hey, this community is all about helping each other so I'll ask anyway.
I love Apple Music and always use my iPhone or Macbook via USB to feed my 2 DACs (Orchid and iDSD). However this doesn't maximize sound quality since USB connectivity is not the greatest. Even if its not as convenient, I get better sound when I use my cheap Node2i coax out to my DACs.
Since I want my source/transport to be easily "transportable", not portable, seems like my only solution is a DAP with a coax out connection. Please don't suggest I get a DDC box, I've have enough boxes as it is.
Now I want to maximize sound quality without spending a fortune on the DAC/AMP section of a DAP which I will not really use anyway.
So unless one of you surprises me with a "DAP" that is only a source/transport, which DAP do you suggest I get that is able to run Apple Music app, 1Tb SD card and most important has a good sounding coax out connection?
Many thanks.
