the op here. I must be thankful to All ears for getting me back to the subject again
Will I actually buy this dac?The only two components I will consider in the future to replace or add in my setup is a sub woofer and a good source. The vinyl option was eliminated after almost everyone showed me the wisdom of avoiding it as iam a late entrant to this format.
So digital was the way forward. And when I was almost sold on this dac , I came across several posts in American forums where people were debating over coaxial vs optical vs usb. Next the debate was over usb purifiers, spdif convertors and re clockers. And the last was about having bit perfect digital source without jitter. Which meant a expensive music server.
After considering so many variables involved. I've decided that a external dac is not for me. I would'nt want to fret incessantly that iam not getting the best out of it. And improvement is either just a cable or usb purifier away.
I'd rather go for a all-in-one streamer with a inbuilt dac and call it a day .
