Question:
Apple Lossless source out of Macbookpro --> P-51 Mustang --> Westone 3
or
Apple Lossless source out of Macbookpro --> Ibasso D10 (optical)--> Westone 3
Which setup has the better SQ?
I'm guessing the D10 cuz it's also a DAC and replaces my laptop sound card?
But, would the p-51 also improve the SQ? or am I wasting money plugging an amp in the laptop without a DAC?
Is the best SQ achieved by: Apple Lossless source out of Macbookpro --> Ibasso D10 (optical, DAC only) --> P-51 Mustang --> Westone 3 ?
My objective is to achieve the best SQ out of the W3 (and possibly ES3x customs later)
size does not matter to me.
price difference also does not matter.
I do not foresee myself opamp rolling the D10
Thanks in advance for any input!
