Files from a Harddrive to a DAC vs dedicated digital player?
I'm a vinyl head...pure and simple. So when it comes to digital format I think the path of least resistance is the cleanest. I am building my digital music library and I'm wondering if purchasing a Bryston BDP-1 to control the playback from my computer is warranted, or would a software controlled via iPad/computer be doing essentially the same? Will the dedicated digital player sound better than a computer plugged into the DAC unit?
Currently I have a harddrive plugged via digital USB into my OPPO 205 DAC to a Moon preamp to a Bryston 4b3 amp playing through Bryston Model T speakers. Any thoughts?
