Hi all,
I have a Lenovo Y40-70, which has an SPDIF output. I know nothing about SPDIF, and wasn't sure where to look. I'm interested in the FiiO D03k, which I'd pair up with a Schiit Magni 2. My first question is, will my SPDIF out work with this? What cables or converters do I need?
Next, is the D03k and Magni (2 if possible) a good pair, if anyone has both? Are there any faults I should know with either?
Should I go with the E07k to save? I only have an SR80i I'll be using these with. I need a DAC for my computer and an amp for my turntable and CD player. The FiiO E07k has a line in and functions as a DAC, helping me save $40. I fear though that it is outdated/the D03k and Magni 2 are worth the extra $40. I won't really need portability, so both are fine options.
I've never purchased a DAC or amp, and have little experience with them; apologies for any missing information. If I'm missing anything, please let me know. Thanks for reading and for any responses.
