Right now I have a Cambridge Audio AXR100 amplifier (with "built-in DAC") paired with two Klipsch RP-8000F floor speakers.
I want to start using this system connected to my PC inside my home office. But since my amplifier doesn't have a USB connection, it seems I have two options:
1. Purchase an additional USB DAC (like Topping E30, cost about $150) or
2. Purchase a USB-C to Optical adapter (cost about $75)
Will the sound quality be improved if I go with option #1, or would purchasing another DAC be a waste of money?
