Chech out Monarchy Digital Interface Processors (DIP), which greatly reduce jitter and alow you to convert the digital interface (e.g., optical connection from iMac to Monarchy DIP, and then coax/XLR (or BNC on certain models) digital out from the Monarchy DIP to your Chord DAC). For non-oversampling DACs their best product is probably the Classic DIP; However, if the DAC accepts 24/94 I would go the 48/96 Upsampler.
BEST DAC connection?
I currently own a Chord DAC 64 and I'm exploring the possibility of an Audiophile setup around itunes. I'm thinking about converting my CDs to lossless and saving them.
Naturally I would like recommendations of some of DACs. I'm currently limited to digital optical out with a mini converter as I shall be using an iMac.
Also what are the benefits of a USB dac over a normal one?
Thank you everyone!
