Firstly, I hope not! Of course I will if necessary though... :roll:
I have an Asus D2X in my PC with a 3.5 mm to 2 RCA into my Arcam A85. I loved the sound at first as it was an improvement now I feel it lacks a little something. I am not very good at being critical and descriptive so I mean it sounded a bit tame and sort of loose with some music. Great with some but with Prodigy or similar it could have been more attacking I feel.
Now I have a choice of a Beresford Caiman Gatorized and an rDAC. As these have the same inputs and outputs basically it should not matter apart from the actual sound!
What I need to know is whether I can feed the DAC with the digital out on my Asus or not or is there some conflict with the DAC in the soundcard.
Whole new area for me so apologies if this is an obvious question heh heh.
