Could you please advise me on my problem?
I am currently using my laptop-DAC configuration:
Foobar2000 (from Dell Studio 1558) to Fiio E7 (via USB) and to Panasonic RP-HT711 headphones. These are quite old headphones, but I am quite happy with them.
The problem is I hate laptop fan noise and I would like to have a dedicated CD player.
I have tried to change the source by connecting Phillips DVP 3040 (DVD player) to the Fiio E7's aux-in port. However I was disappointed by the quality of the sound.
I don't have any opportunity to test how Onkyo C-7030 will sound, so I am asking for your advice.
Will I get an improvement in sound quality with Onkyo?
(I am still not sure how will I use it - whether straight from headphone output or from the RCA outputs through Fiio E7)
Thank you in advance for any comment.
