oh great more devices. slowly and slowly getting into separates. I think it's called upgradilitis here?You don't need DAC which can get that high and as you intend to continue to use PC you don't really need one. Plenty of great performing ones see the ASR review index. Once when you decide to get rid of PC (in the reproduction chain) it's worth checking MiniDSP lines for lots of reasons. For example more basic one from lineup.
And they go up regarding number of I/O's, streaming integration and Dirac Live (room correction) but I think even basic one with REW is enough for most folks. Of course play with positioning of both speakers and sub as much as possible, would suggest and basic acustics treatment (back wall and corners with difuzer panels) when you can and if space and possibilities allow.Minidsp Flex Review (Audio DSP)
This is a review and detailed measurement of the Minidsp Flex audio signal processor. It was sent to me by the company and costs US $475 for unbalanced and $550 for balanced that I tested. Flex borrows the interface from SHD and puts it in a compact package. Seeing how I really liked that...www.audiosciencereview.com
I can 100% hear a difference between USB-> hegel @768khz and optical @192khz so you sure not upping DAC to max is OK? Is there a science behind it or "you won't hear it" ?
SInce I mostly use tidal nowadays , some cheap streamer with ipad interface will would be a good idea
