I'm using a very similar setup, only I have a the mac mini feeding directly into the ps audio instead of through the AE. I love the set up.
Is a DAC Worth It With Airport Express
Hi - hoping I can get some guidance on DAC and whether or not I need one. My current system:
Onkyo SR608
KEF Surround Speakers 3500SE
MacBook Pro w/iTunes
I play my iTunes library on my Onkyo receiver / KEF speakers via Airport Express.
I recently saw the PS Audio Digital Link III available at a pretty reasonable price. I know that this type of DAC (and others I'm sure) make CDs sound better, but I never use any of my CDs anymore. I listen to all my music as described above and use Apple Lossless whenever possible.
Would my setup benefit from the PS Audio product? I would imagine the setup would be Airport Extreme --> PS Audio --> Onkyo Receiver, correct?
Or is the DAC on my Onkyo fine as it is and the PS Audio just a waste of money?
Thanks so much!!!
