I have been an avid music consumer for decades - vinyl on a super system - but I now live on a narrowboat with limited space and power so I'm trying to put together that perfect system again in my new environment. I have a Temple Bantam Gold 12 volt T-amp driving a pair of Klipsch speakers and I'm happy with that side of things. The input connector for the Bantam can be either headphone mini-jack or RCA. My music library is on a 2012 MacBook Air 13" using Pure Music/iTunes or streamed from the cloud via iPad or iPhone. What do I need to go between my MacBook and my Bantam to maximise the quality?
I also would like to use phones with the Apple goodies rather than the amp & speakers in these long dark nights to minimise power consumption.
Everything needs to be either USB or 12v powered.
Any suggestions you can give for dac, headphone amp, phones, and so forth, would be appreciated. The only types of music not in my collection are opera, Cowell-clones, and Abba.
Thanks,
Valerie
