I have not tried a DDC. But, I am a big proponent of having the very best components you can afford as opposed to adding things like external power supplies and I think DDC would fall into this category. When I have tried this, it has not been as cost effective as getting a better component.
At what level of Streamer and Dac does a DDC add no sonic benefit?
Seeing a number of new DDC’s coming to market, which are seeing good reviews, but mostly on use with entry level Streamers and DAC’s. Will a DDC add benefit to a Innuos Zen Mk3 running with a Denafrips T2 12. I realize a DDC offers different connection options besides USB only from the Innuos, but will there be sonic improvements? Appreciate any insights. Many thanks.
