THe iFI iLink is another budget USB converter that is highly thought of.
Seeking DAC advice
Hey All,
I'm looking to do an upgrade. My current system:
Windows 7 PC, WAVs and FLACs
E-MU 0404 USB 2.0 External
NAD C 316BEE Integrated Amp
Mint condition JBL 4425 Studio Monitors
I believe that the weakest link in the above is the 0404. Please feel free to correct that notion. Nonetheless, I was considering and upgrade to one of the following DACs:
Schiit Bifrost, possibly with Uber Analogue upgrade.
Cambridge Audio DacMagic Plus
NAD D1050
I listen to a variety of music, and value detail with as little distortion as possible.
My questions:
1. Most importantly, will one or more of the above be a significant upgrade over the 0404?
2. Is one of the above DACs the best upgrade option (in the $4-600 range) for my system?
Thanks in advance for your time!
Mike
