see how I am configured. this is a typical setup. don't know your NAD piece but if it has an internal DAC you can use that if the sound pleases you. You need to set the computer to make the NAD DAC the output, if you use a usb cable, shortest is better. Pure Music App is recommended and recording in apple lossless with error correction turned on.
New to Computer/Digital Music Need Help NADM15
Recently purchased NAD M15 HD pre/processor. Want to get use my macbook and for now itunes library. Struggling with what I need to accomplish this. Questions are:
Is the onboard DAC adequate or can I use an external DAC? recommendations?
What is best way to connect macbook to NAD unit? Headphone jack? USB with external DAC?
What input do I connect into NAD? Any help with configuring setup menu based on connection method?
I recently purchased MAC Sound Pipe but cannot get sound. I assume this is teh "poor man's way" and do you recommend a SPDIF bridge assuming use of an external DAC? My price limit for teh DAC would be <$600.00. Thank you for considering to help.
