It will work just fine I have been using my 781 with excellent results, there are a few obvious drawbacks but it will get you started in computer audio.
Wadia 860 DAC for Digital Audio system???
Is the DAC in my Wadia 860 up to current DAC standards?
Just getting into Computer Audio.
860's never been upgraded so I can only use 44.1KHz...
I would need to feed it with a USBto S/PDIF Bridge
(I was looking at the Halide Designs Bridge 1.01)
Silent PC with JRIver - streaming WAV files.
Does that make sense or should I go the dedicated DAC route?
I should note that the 860 sounds fantastic on CD's - no Pre-Amp - to Pass Labs x150 and Vandersteen 5's
