i apologise for my inquiries, i am really confused regarding my hifi setup i hope you experts and audiophiles can suggest me best way to get most out of my setup
.
i listen to all kind of music.i listen to mostly 320 kpbs mp3's and Flac and some cd,s through wmp on my laptop.i have a creative usb sound card connected to my laptop which is connected to arcam avr250 via digital coax output.
i have B&W 603s2 as front channel.
i read that best sound quality is achieved via analogue stereo direct mode on av amp.
i tried analogue out from creative sound card as well through my laptop integrated sigmatel soundcard, it did seems to improve stereo imaging but was bright and noisy compared to digital out from creative. i sue good quality monster audio turbine rca
interconnect and profigold 0.5 metre
good quality coax cable so both cables are of comparable quality. i have my 603 s2 biamped by using extra rear sorround channels from my arcam with ixos 6006 cables.
i want to improve mid range clarity and sound stage and imaging would love it bass can be more punchy, and as its not as good as what i used to get on my old nad c312 with wharfedale evo 2. should i buy a DAC like arcam etc for improving the sound ofr any other suggestions?
i thought of buying a cd player but since my collection is mostly mp3s and flac it did not make sense for me
thanks in advance
