Hi there. I really want to try out high res music using the system below.
I have a few questions:
1. Can i plug in my mac to my amp via optical and get high res output from it... or does it have to be usb into my amp?? ( there is a usb on the front for memory sticks etc- not sure it will take my mac though.....)
2. Are there any free high res ripping software like itunes or do i have to pay for dbpoweramp??
3. I take it i can switch off itunes as my default music server on my mac. So i can rip high res and keep it seperate from my large i tunes music collection??
Is there anything i am missing??
I want to see if i can tell any difference between lossless and high res before going down the dac route??
Thanks in advance
John
