Hi... I have the following setup ordered:
BlueSound Node (digital out) --> E50 DAC --> AUDIOPHONICS AP300-S250NC
I want to add Dirac Live and allow for the addition of a sub in the future (with HP/LP filtering).
I have the following thoughts based on my research and helpful feedback:
- MiniDSP DDRC-24 - Cheapest solution, but ties me to the inbuilt DAC
- MiniDSP SHD Studio - Digital only. This means another external DAC for a future sub but gives me the flexibility to change DACs as I might like. I presume this solution is technically fine...?
- MiniDSP SHD (full version) - Digital and analogue out. This gives maximum flexibility, but doesn't appear to give me anything above the SHD Studio (digital) if I will likely just buy a second external DAC and use the digital outputs anyway? Am I missing something?
I apologise for all the questions. I guess I'm just looking for confirmation (or otherwise) that I am seeing this all correctly and not missing something silly.
