Try a 12V lead acid battery on the Mini-DAC. I put one on mine and the difference is HUGE versus the stock wall wart.
Apogee Mini DAC: Connection questions
I have recently purchased an Apogee Mini DAC. It sounds incredible. I bought the non-USB version and am connecting it to my computer via a U24 Waveterminal card. I have a couple of questions:
1. Would I get a better sound if I purchased the USB card unit for the Mini-DAC? Or is the sound better going from a quality external card like the U24.
2. I am currently using a glass toslink to connect the mini dac to my waveterminal. I have heard people say coax is better, but others have said toslink is better when computers are involved. Any insights?
Thanks.
