(A welcoming skip this if you want)
Hello beautiful people greetings from greece.
I was looking for some dac's lately and i came upon this site and i have to say it's amazing how deep some of those reviews are. I have my eye on the topping d50 for my next upgrade at the beginning i was going for the sound blaster g6 but i think for what I have the topping will be a better choice but I need some help
(The problem?)
So? what's up? I have a new pair of tube amps and i would like to get my gear up to date since my set up consist of
A pc (for my source of music)
A yamaha wxc50 As a pre amp
A creative sound blaster Xi Fi Hd (that feeds the yamaha with signal via optical out)
And a pair of tube amps (that get the signal from the yamaha Pre out)
Oh yeah speakers Kef ls50
Nice.. progress...
I would like to use the topping d50 as a source for the yamaha or as a pre amp for the tube amps (if it's possible) (I don't know...)
also i would like to use a 5m usb cable for the topping d50 since i want it close to the amplifiers
(My questions)
Will the 5m usb cable have any problem? (sound quality/latency/distortion/picked up noise)
Do i need a better pre amp to get the best out of my gear and if yes what options do we have I have some ideas but I'd like to get more (budget 500ish+?)
So fat the topping d50 is a solid choice for a dac but should I just drop everything get the creative g6 connect everything via optical and call it a day? is it worth the upgrade (sound quality wise)
Also do I lose something with the yamaha as a pre amp? I was looking for some tube pre amps and i was like do i really need this? also will I bottleneck the topping d50 if I use the yamaha as a final source?
Well you made it that's all for now thank you a lot for your time reading my problems/ideas and I'm hoping you can help me with your experience
Have a beautiful day
Also ehm I won't reveal the name yet but here some pics for now form my tube amps
More of those later
