Presumably the PS Audio DAC would sound better than the DAC of the Marantz.
I suggest auditioning one in your own system to find out. If your ears don’t detect an improvement, your wallet will thank you
How can a PS Audio Perfect Wave DAC enhance my system?
How can a PS Audio Perfect Wave DAC enhance my system? I just don't know how to integrate a PS Audio DAC into what I already have.
The meat and potatoes of my system is a McIntosh preamp and a McIntosh power amp. I have all my music digitized in FLAC and DSF, stored on a Popcorn Hour A-500 networked media tank (built-in DAC) connected to my pream.
I also have a Marantz SACD connected to the preamp. I am able to access the DAC in the Marantz directly with either a USB or Toslink cable.
Since I have a NMT, I have no need to store or stream music from a PC. Where could a PS Audio Perfect Wave DAC help me?
Thanks
