Background story, see here: link
My previous setup is Topping EX5 RCAout -> KEF KC62 -> Genelec G3.
Now, because there is a nice selling offer, I sold my EX5 and currently running as: PC 3.5mm out->KEF KC62->Genelec G3. (The motherboard is ASUS C8H)
Interestingly, I really could not tell if there is anything changed at all... I mean, besides topping gives me a nice volume button and a better-than-nothing bluetooth, the sound is just as what it is before...
I am reaching to the conclusion that I probably don't need to a new DAC since I am not hearing differences. Or, the distortion is simply not audiable...
What do you think? Is this usually the case for monitor speakers? and DACs are in fact mostly the same when SNR/THD goes below a certain level?
