    DAC

    So I want to connect my laptop to my hifi via the USB port. My question is will I get good results from a portable dac that only has a 3.5mm jack output or do I need to get one that has rca connectors? Would the latter provide a better sound? my budget is around £100/150. thanks

    Hi I currently have a Dual 505-2 turntable connected via a Rega Fono Mini A2D to a Yamaha surround sound amp with Q Acoustic Concept 20 speakers. I also use airplay on the Amp to stream music from my Mac Mini. I generally listen to Rock/Indie music, with some jazz and classical as well. I'm...
