Say I get a Topping d10B - would it be better to use its balanced outputs going into unbalanced analogue input on amplifier receiver
or
Toslink output into the digital input on said amplifier, which supposedly has 120dB range 24bit/96kHz Burr-brown DACs inside?
I'm leaning towards using optical which will also stop noise from the PC feeding into amplifiers. The amplifier runs about 96dB signal to noise from according to specs.
Situation : I would like a control unit at the PC, which has an optical output, balanced output, (and also a nice headphone amp, can be separate.)
The output from the control unit will need to travel 5 metres to the power amplifier receiver.
