Hey guys,
Need some help. I am in the process of building up a cd collection as its the best sound quality i have heard through my system. However, I have a massive collection (nabbed of various friends over 4 years) on my computer and my ipod. At the moment i plug my i pod into my amplifier directly via phono- coax wire. However the sound is no where near as good as a cd (even in high bitrate) and i seem to have to turn my amp up very loud to get any sort of volume. How can i imrove this? Will buying a DAC help? What exactly do they do? I read that all cd players have a DAC. Can i somehow plug my ipod into my cd player to use the cd player DAC (i have a cyrus cd6)? Alternativly I was considering buying a really good sound card and playing my music through my computer? Any other suggestions?
Thanks for readinga and any help is greatly appreciated.
