@jetter - Toslink has less bandwidth, so can eliminate high resolution files as being an option. The other factor is that using a Toslink required to additional conversions from electrical to light and back. I’ve not really made an effort to compare, so won’t make any proclamations on SQ as I’m sure there isn’t only one answer.
How much should I spend on a new DAC
Hello Gents. What would be reasonable sum to spend on a new DAC relative to my current audio rig.
Speakers: Sonus Faber Olympica II
Integrated Amp: Pass Labs INT-25
DAC: Pro-Ject Dac Box S2+
Speaker Cables: Kimber 8VS Bi-Wire
Power cable: Kimber PK10 Base
Interconnects: Audioquest Tower
I must say I'm very happy with the music coming out of my speakers but It's obvious that the DAC is not the same league as the rest of the equipment.
