I agree with you. Specifically designed gear will sound better than a multi-functional one. Can you provide some examples where you found the improvement to be. Was it more revealing, more up front stage? Or more dynamic due to the digital player's decoding process. Finally, which one do you have?
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?
