Morning peeps!
Although I am pretty much a vinyl boy, these days, I fancy having a look at non-cd, digital playback, and i'd like to know if i'm going down the right path with my plan.
So, I don't have any need for streaming capability, as all of my electrical components are within 2 metres of each other and can be easily hardwired. I already have 2 external hardrives and a media player with optical out, which I use for viewing movies. With this in mind, am I right in thinking that I really only need a DAC , fed by the media player by optical and then connected to my amp by RCAs, to be up and running?
If that is the case, is the REGA DAC still the way to go? I know Michy boy and a few others on here love theirs. I don't want to spend more than £500.
Thanks all!
