Hello,
I am currently planning a new system, and there is something I think I must be missing!
I purchased an echo link with the plan that it could output the over the optical link to my dac/amp to provide a top notch signal. However I have been learning about streaming devices and seen how much you can spend on them and I don’t understand why the are so much better if the signal from the link is the digital signal anyway and the dac is doing the work? Logic dictates that the signal is being processed before it even leaves the digital out, but what processing does it have to do?!?
I am sure this is just my ignorance but I can’t seem to find an answer!!
Thank you in advance.
Joe.
