DAC connection to computer


I am getting a Mac 7900 integrated amp soon.  I understand it has a nice built in DAC.  How should I proceed to connect this to my computer/modem so I can start steaming high quality music......  Thanks

In addition to Foobar, you have the JRiver Mediacenter as another option for locally stored music. Connection from your computer to the Mac 7900 via USB A/B.

Using (for example) Quobuz as the source of music (PC app available), you can send the stream via USB to your DAC as well.

Give it a try. If you are satisfied with the soundquality, you will not need any additional hardware. If not, you may want to go with a dedicated streamer.

I am using an Android platform including USB Audio Player Pro going directly into the integrated amp via USB A/B (and as well via separate DAC to the amp).

It is all about personal preference.
