Integrated amp with USB B and DSD DAC.

ARC does not support DSD.

Oh right. I forgot about that. I might try this integrated anyway. I wonder what would be the benefits to move to a piece like that. https://www.cambridgeaudio.com/usa/en/products/hi-fi/cx-series-2/cxa61

End of story. I moved the Teac AI-301DA that I use in another room to the desktop. I ordered a LOXJIE A40 to replace it,
bringing more power to run the speakers. I have a Thorens TT with a Puffin phono, should be interesting to compare it with the one in the A40. Thank you for your help.

I ordered a LOXJIE A40

When it arrives, share your impressions, especially with regard to the phono stage.

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.
Any advantage to choose a DAC with HDMI?

I was looking to purchase this JACT USB FEMTO.
Did you do A2B comparison vs the PC USB?
Any changes in quality or just placebo?

Thanks
