Hi
I'm new to these forums so bear with me []
My current hifi system consists of:
I'm VERY tempted by the looks of Apple TV but wanted to know whether it'd make sense to add a DAC into the equation to make sound quality better etc...
Currently all my music is on CD but wanted to see if I could make life a little easier (and less cluttered) by putting all my music on to my computer (I use iTunes and have an iPhone 4 as well). But I fear that the sound quality may be compromised in compariosn to the CD sound quality now.
I listen to a varying range of music but includes a lot of Hed Kandi and bassy, modern electronic music (like The XX, Hot Chip, the Late Night Tales & Back to Mine series of CD's) but I also listen to some heavy metal as well (i.e. SOAD, Metallica, Iron Maiden and more).
Would getting a DAC improve the sound quality of the Apple TV if incorporated into my system (I'd also have it connected to my TV (Sony Bravia 32" LCD) and surround sound system (Sony DAVIS50). If so, where is the sequence would it be best connected?
Thanks for your time
