Now, would it make much difference if I bought a cheap dedicated DAC such as a Alien DAC or Monica USB? I'm getting my auzentech prelude in a couple days(hopefully), and I'm not sure if i made the right choice..
To be 100% honest, I can't tell the difference from 192kbps encoded mp3's against lossless... I can't hear the difference using ASIO vs default... I guess I'm not that sensitive to resolution... Not enough to appreciate it at least..
Will a cheap dedicated dac however, offer better clarity, blacker/cleaner spaces, etc? Will it affect the tonal signature at all? And is it worth it(meaning, is a $50-100 solution a significant upgrade, if at all, from my prelude)
Thanks -
