Hi everyone,
My current setup: source - PC with ESI Juli@ soundcard, amp - Marantz pm6003, speakers - Kef Q300. Speakers are standing on the corner table apprx. 0.5 meter away from my chair. Room is 25 sqr. Meters big.
I play standart PCM 44.1/16 tracks with foobar2000 app (ASIO output plugin). My preferred genres are acid jazz, alternative. Sometimes metal.
I wonder, if it worth replacing my audiocard with some decent DAC (300-500eur)? Will I feel the difference? Or I need more sophisticated components for this upgrade to make a difference?
Right now I don't have a possibility to test any DACs, so I'm asking for your advice.
