Hello,
My Mac is my main source for music, which I know isn't staggering in terms of quality, but I've been won over by convenience. At the moment it runs through a Denon DM3 system with Tannoy Mission MX2s, with a QED J2P interconnect and Silver Anniversary speaker cables. All of which will be upgraded in the next few months as I become rich and famous. Browsing various threads I'm starting to realise that improvements can be made on the sound coming from the Mac, with DACs and such. I keep coming across "lossless" and "squeezebox" and, realising that it may well be a tiresome newbie question, need a bit of help with understanding them. I've got a couple of months worth of music on iTunes, so can I convert that to lossless and will is make a difference? What the Dickens is a squeezebox? And should I get a DAC before thinking about upgrading the amp or speakers?
Thanks,
Carrie
