high end DAP for home 2 channel vs traditional dac/streamer?
anybody using a good DAP as a source at home?
some benefits I see from the outside looking in;
-fully balanced (would that make a significant difference connected up to a balanced amp like an Ayre AX-5 ?)
-battery powered
-fanless
Ground loops are difficult to achieve with balanced, and even harder with a battery powered device.
A DAP is fine as a source, if a little inconvenient.
My streamer (a Raspberry Pi 3 B+ running moOde) doesn't have a fan.
Haven't had problem with ground loops in my system either, unless it was a poorly designed component.
