My audio system as of know, consist of the following components:
Xindac XA6950(09) amp
Vienna Acoustics Hyden SE speakers
SVS SB1000 sub
Henry audio dac 128 mk2 USB DAC (no optical or coax) (Asahi Kasei AKM4430 DAC)
Raspberry Pi4 8GB with distor supporting Tidal.
I wish to have have tidal connect and looked at the Wiim product line. My problem is that my current DAC is USB only and the Wiim products are OPTICAL ore Coax out, not USB
A wiim pro plus is around 270 usd in my country.
The alternative is a a wiim mini ( aroud 80usd in my country) and a new dac (up to around 190-200USD) that will be the same total price as a wiim pro plus.
What DACS is recomended in this price range (need optical in) ?
My amp has balanced input, but I have never used that input so I am a little unshure if it bypasses the preamp with the volume control, meaning if to use balanced out from dac, the dac also might need a volume control.
Any suggestions for a DAC that is on par or better then my old one? I dont mind ordering from ebay/aliexpress/amazon etc.
