A friend of mine asked this, and I don't know how to answer.
Say, we have a source player, USB output to DAC.
The player is using very bad power with lot of noise, 60hz him etc etc....
And it passes the signal via USB to a very clean DAC, say if it is the Top Mola Mola DAC that amir just measured,or the topping D90.
Would that noise from upstream system being passed down the DAC and impact any sound quality ?
And how would the system as a whole perform if the digital part has noise?
Thanks.
