I have a big time Cary Audio Tube amp and pre amp and really like the tube sound but would love to hook up my PC Audio internet through a lite DAC that I have to my tubes. I am totally ignorant as to how to get from here to there. Can anyone help????
I have no experience with firewire but have used USB connections between both an iMac and Macbook Pro to Peachtree Decco and NuForce Icon amps with built-in DAC's. I've never experienced dropouts in any configuration with that gear.
Probably the simplest way would be to buy an Airport Express base station, connect to it from your PC (it works for PC's or Macs as a wireless access point or can be installed on your wired ethernet network.) Then connect the Airport Express and your DAC via their digital optical connectors. The analog output of the DAC connects to one of the inputs on your preamp.
A lot of people use the Squeezebox products but I have no experience with them.
