I use a Mac mini with pure music as my main player, feeding it into the Jolida Dac Transport. Prior to upgrading to the Jolida, I used an Arcam Rdac, and was very happy with it. The Arcam is relatively cheap, you can find them somewhere in the neighborhood of $300, and you definitely get your money's worth.
Macbook +DAC versus cd player+DAC
Good morning.
My cd player bit the dust!Instead of spending hard earn money on repairing it, I thought that I could follow a new route and do the following:
use my MacBook pro + audio program upgrade into a good DAC , copy my CD library into the Mac and remove the cd player from the chain, knowing that the Mac has been cleaned and is only functioning as a music transport.
Thoughts?
second topic: since the general consensus is that music CD`s will go the way of cassettes and VHS, music will be either Vinyl records or digital music?
Thoughts again?
Your answers, comments and opinions will be read and pondered. Thank you.
