Having connected my PCs sound card to my Technics amp, and been very disappointed, I am now considering going down the DAC route. I am looking for a desktop USB DAC, under £200 with RCA output and a headphone socket. Something that would give comparable sound to something like an Asus Xonar Essence sound card, if I were to upgrade that. (That is the other option I am considering)
I have discovered the Audioengine D1, which is the right sort of formfactor and the right sort of price. Am I going to see a noticeable improvement in the sound, compared to what I am getting from my Xonar DX sound card? Or the Denon DA300? Or Teac UDH01?
Thanks in advance.
