I tested he analog RCA inputs vs the PC inputs again.
The analog RCA inputs fed by my Aries Femto streamer > Yulong D8 [highly modified] DAC sound way better than the Aries straight into the PC [USB] inputs or using the KEF app as a streamer.
It is not even close....there is so much more warmth, realism ...everything improves through the analog inputs even though I know the analog signal is resampled by the KEFs DAC .
Obviously this analog signal I am sending the KEFs is of a much higher quality then the one decoded by only the KEFs DAC.....
...another advantage of using the RCA inputs is that one can take full advantage of the DSD and upsampling features of an external DAC instead of being limited to 192 on the USB input...
Just sharing my experience....
