I am a beginner and I dont really know much about DACs, preams, headphone amps, sources, and all of that jazz
I am very confused and I would highly appreciate it if you could give me beginner instructions on what these things are and what they do.
by the way I am not recording anything I just want to hear good quality music.
I used to think that I should connect my headphones to the headphone mini jack. but there is apparently a lot to it.
there are so many differnet connections than the mini jack.
what is Coaxial S\PDIF?
XLR on DAC? for output? really? I thought XLR is for high end microphones.
I know USB is a connection but I did not know it is used in audio gear.
what is the difference between a preamp and a headphone amp?
please explain to me how these things work because I am perplexed.
Thanks a lot in advance
