| Apple TV Streaming Sound Quality vs Streamer? Since adding the Benchmark Dac, I really enjoy the added detail but it seems to be a little brash in my system or at least to what I’m used to. Would the synchro mesh mellow it out a little? Or am I better off getting a more laid back dac? If so... | |
