Is it that the sound from the computer is not equal to that from the 840c playing CDs and you are happy with the 840c when doing so? One issue is that you are streaming a lower resolution file from Spotify, therefore the signal from the computer is not as good as that from the transport. That said, you might benefit from sending the digital signal from computer via USB and using a USB/SPDIF converter and going coax to the 840c. This way you take advantage of the 840cs DAC and pay only for the digital conversion device.
Where/How can I further improve PC audio quality?
I just started listening to streaming PC audio. The app I'm using is Spotify and the audio card I installed is an Evny 24HF outputting 20 bit, 96khz. I am using a 280 fiber glass Toslink connected to my Cambridge Audio AZURE 840C which upsamples to 24/386. Overall, it sounds pretty good, however I would really welcome feedback on how I may be able to improve audio quality. I am using Spotify Premium and selected high resolution and hardware excelleration. Thanks for your help!!
