Hey guys, so I am wondering.
I have the PA2V2 amp that is taking input from my computers front audio panel right now (I do the rear via extension cable)
But I was wondering, what kind of difference were I to expect of I used a UDAC instead of just the on-board.
On-board sounds great but I'm probably sure I can get better.
With audio-equipment as is, stuff like this defeats the purpose of sounds cards. Why bother right?.
And more portable haha.
Wanted to see what I would do to improve my signal source (aside from my files itself but I'm play FLAC for most of what I frequently listen to).
Back onto subject, what are peoples opinions.
What to look for when choosing a UDAC and any suggestions for sub-100?.
I would figure it'd go. PC -> UDAC/DAC -> PA2V2 -> B&W P5.
Or heck, even PC -> UDAC - > to my old Yamaha stereo set to my Quest 500 speakers.
Now, about this one, would I be better off just going line out from my PC to the stereo (as it is now) or would I benifit from going through the UDAC to the stereo? I guess it depends on the quality of the set.
EDIT:
I don't mind not using my PA2V2 if the amp is used on the PC. The main idea of the PA2V2 was portable use for my entry level goodiness.
