i have the minimax, using coax with ref recordings hi-res files. the sound is a bit better than a well recorded 16 bit cd.
Hi-rez using Rega and E. Electric Plus DAC
I have followed the Rega vs Eastern Electric Plus Minimax thread with a lot of interest. They both sound like great options for someone who is trying to go the MacMini - DAC route on a budget. However, I understand that the USB on the Rega DAC cannot accommodate hi-rez files. I may be exposing my ignorance here but questions I would like some help on are:
1) What type of cable/connection works well to play hi-rez files from the Mac-mini into the Rega DAC?
2) What type of cable/connection works well to play hi-rez on the EE?
3) Will there be a significant cost difference to effectively use the Rega to play hi-rez files?
If performance and price are comparable between the two DACs it seems that the Eastern Electric may be a more economical way to enjoy hi-rez music. Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks.
