Hi, I would like to ask question in relation to my audio settings. I normally play music through itunes and sometimes play Flac files through Amarra. I am not really serious listener just enjoy a good quality music.
My current setting at the moment is Imac - USB connection to DacMagic - DacMagic - Aktimate Mini.
I am looking to purchase either Hiface USB or Audio GD Digital Interface from my Imac to DacMagic. My choice is toward purchasing Audio GD Digital Interface B with PSU.
I am a newbie in audio system so I had a few questions:
Hope you guys can help me answering newbie question

I am looking to purchase either Hiface USB or Audio GD Digital Interface from my Imac to DacMagic. My choice is toward purchasing Audio GD Digital Interface B with PSU.
I am a newbie in audio system so I had a few questions:
- I wonder if my Aktimate Mini is good enough or will it become a bottleneck with Dacmagic and USB Spdif connection?
- From my understanding Audio GD is only asynchronous USB device, will my Dacmagic is not good enough for Audio GD DIgital Interface? (I read through threads that Dacmagic is kind of entry level Dac)
- If I end up purchasing Audio GD Digital interface will that kind of replacement for sound card; so in future I don't need to invest in soundcard just use USB-spdif device to connect to my stereo system? What is the difference of using soundcard or not since USB spdif is already good enough?
- Does the difference quite signiface using USB-spdif device considering my system and my listening usage?
Hope you guys can help me answering newbie question
