Hello everyone,
I'm not very tech-savvy, so I'm turning to the forum
I'd like to connect a Windows PC and a PC with Daphile to the Topping D90SE DAC, which has USB and I2S inputs.
I found this interface
sold by Amazon.pl
and this cable from Ricable that is sold in Poland by the Polish Ricable website
Ricable also manufactures a cable with an internal processor and artificial intelligence, but I believe the passive cable should be more than sufficient The one with the processor is three times the price, and I don't quite understand its purpose, but I'm also reaching out to forum members about this option.
The AI one I would still need to order from Italy.
This way, I could connect both PCs.
In my humble opinion, Daphile is certainly better for file playback, though you might disagree, while for Tidal and even for watching movies, the Windows PC might be superior, thanks to MQA encoding, which is not available on Tidal.
For movies, it would obviously be indispensable.
Moreover, with the Windows PC, I could connect to Daphile and view the interface on the TV screen, which would be infinitely more convenient than looking at my phone.
Also, at 68, my eyes are starting to have their issues.
Link to the Topping, for those unfamiliar with it.
I'd like to hear from the experts if everything seems fine.
In any case, I have the option to return the products, but it's better to ask and avoid the hassle.
Happy listening to everyone and a big thank you in advance to those who will answer.
