I think the Empirical off ramp turbo is the best way to extract data from the computer. That way you can get any dac you want. Look for a dac with 3-4 inputs. I run my computer audio, my dvd, and my transport thru the dac and it works great for music & movies. It almost presents a phantom center channel.
pc to dac?
Ok I have been to a couple stores and talked to some people they seem to push me to what they have not what is the best. I want to start using a PC or Mac for a source to a DAC. Right now I use a cary 303/300 which I like but can I get the same or better sound out of a dac and pc? What is the best set up. I would like to stay under 5k for the dac 3k would be better but tell me what I need to spend. I guess if I get a DAC also I could dump the cary 303 for just a cheaper transport, correct?
