I have a V-DAC and highly recommend them. I would get that first and use your current changer as a transport , assuming it has a digital out. VDHs cables are good, I sell them but have never used the optical ones. You haven't mentioned your speakers, hard to tell about the Yamaha without knowing what it is driving.
upgrade the amp or the head unit?
hello, I am running a 15 year old Yamaha receiver and CD changer, and i want to upgrade both, but which one should go first? If I do the head unit, I am thinking either a used Rega Apollo or Planet, or a used Rotel RCC-1075, or go PC Audio: iTunes pushing ALC into an Airport Express, then into a MF V-DAC via Van Den Hul Opticoupler. What do you guys think would give me the best upgrade?
