Hi! Jumping into amps again after a few years. I own a Darkvoice and Hip Dac. Recently I ordered the new Lyr+ and new Bifrost 2.
Is there any consensus as to which of the two connections below might have better sound?
1. TV opt out to Bifrost. Wi fi lossless streaming from Apple TV, which is HDMI-connected to TV. Ideally, I’ll get audio to both the headphone and a Sonos Arc sound bar and keep TV video. But the main goal here is sound to the DAC.
2. Wi fi lossless streaming from an iPhone or iPad to the DAC, via RCA and the dongle Schiit recommends. This bypasses the TV completely.
Thanks!
