Any recommendations on the Tri-Vista tube DAC vs. Bel Canto or Benchmark, specifically related to the jitters caused by the AE? Also, why would I need a Toslink cable? Pre-amp doesn't have digital inputs.
Newbie Setup Question - Digital
I could use some help from the community. I'm looking to make my system digital, using a server as my main source and taking a digital signal through a DAC to my pre-amp/amp then to my speakers. Right now, I use a truly non audiophile setup, streaming music from my computer through an Apple Airport Express into my pre-amp. What do I need other than a really good DAC to keep the sound quality high in making my system digital? I will be using only a lossless format for the source. My equipment is fairly old, Nak Pa7 amp and CA7 pre. Also, is there any way to avoid having to run a high quality USB cable (thinking Bel Canto USB link and DAC) from the server to the DAC?
