Hi all
I am planning my audio adventure and want to get things clear in my head. I plan to initially run a chip amp (one of Peters) and connect a CD player (Denon DCD 1500II) and my PC to it, the PC having Flac, MP3 and AIFF copies of CD etcs. I understand from reading threads that I need a DAC to improve things (back to analog) but this is where I get confused.
All the DAC's I have seen have BNC connectors or USB connectors yet, to date, I haven't seen a sound card with either. I would probably be using a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 card in the PC but getting the output from there to a DAC has me baffled.
Does anyone care to enlighten me on the RIGHT way of doing things - connecting my PC to a Gainclone/Chip amp...
So confused.....
Cheers
Bruce
