One person? Really? I can't believe this question has been posted for one full week and only one person responded. Realremo was kind enough to reply (thank you R.), but I still don't have a clear, step-by-step answer to this. It's amazing, for as ...

Computer output to DAC, which route?
Tortugaranger: What $20 converter did you get? 
Metrum Octave single ended output
kzhtoo: The Metrum sounded really good right out of the box. Over the course of a month the Metrum opened up and got "smoother", soundstaging opening up nicely. Give it time. I absolutely love this dac. It beat my Weiss Minerva hands down at a pri...
