So? Why not use a A to C cable? Many DACs come with one.USB B to use with the PC.
The PC is in a closet not far from the main system. I run a long USB B cable to my desk. I could use a USB B converter to C then.So? Why not use a A to C cable? Many DACs come with one.
If you need C, then it's better to run a native C cable without converter.The PC is in a closet not far from the main system. I run a long USB B cable to my desk. I could use a USB B converter to C then.
I found a few on Ali. I will get a USB C cable . I just need to find the integrated amps with USB C now.Those adapters aren’t very common, but I’m sure they exist.
Please don't choose the Amp based on the USB input type.I found a few on Ali. I will get a USB C cable . I just need to find the integrated amps with USB C now.
Thank you all for your help.
Loxjie A30 doesn't play DSD afaik.SMSL AL200, SMSL AO300 looks so complete but with issues, Loxjie A30/40 and Topping MX5 on my list so far...
Yes. It's a long one with repeater. I have a JCAT USB Card FEMTO on the PC. Whatever it does or does not. Different story.If your cable is longer than 3 meters make sure you'll get a certified one,not all of them works,specially at high rates.
Careful: HDMI can be either I2S input or ARCAny advantage to choose a DAC with HDMI?
It's ARC. I use the cable with the monitor. SMSL AO30 is the one to get if I go with HDMI.Careful: HDMI can be either I2S input or ARC
I2S is pretty useless.
ARC can be useful depending on the implementation.
ARC has the potential of supporting CEC volume control, which means that if you plug the Amp into your TV via ARC, then you can control volume using the TV remote.It's ARC. I use the cable with the monitor. SMSL AO30 is the one to get if I go with HDMI.
