I use a 2016 MacBookPro to feed a Musical Fidelity X-DAC v3 in my office setup. I just got a Schiit Eitr, which is a reclocker, and put it between the 2 and the sound quality was improved greatly. So much more 3D.
Improvement over iBook as a front end
Hi, For many years now I have been using an old iBook as a front end, dedicated to music stored on an external drive. The DAC is in my pre-amp. Is there now a front end that would give me a big improvement over this set up? The rest of the system is audiophile (Primare pre-amp, Genelec monitors, REL subwoofers).
The key functionalities that I demand from any replacement are the ability to assign a genre to each tune, and to play in shuffle mode within each genre. Therefore, a CD player/transport is not an option.
Your help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
