Hey Guys,
I recently setup a 2 channel system for the bedroom.
A Marantz PM5004 amp and Q Acoustics 2020i.
I have 2 main sources.
1) A TEAC CDP-650 which has iPod inputs as well.
2) An Apple TV2 for Wireless playback.(Optical out)
Currently I'm running a Fiio DAC for the Optical Audio conversion to RCA.
Amazon.com: FiiO D3 (D03K) Digital to Analog Audio Converter - 192kHz/24bit Optical and Coaxial DAC: Electronics
I usually play audio files of 320kbps wirelessly from the Apple TV.
However, the specs of the Fiio DAC says it only supports a max of 192kbps. (not sure what that means)
I was wondering if upgrading the DAC would improve sound quality.
The audio clarity coming from the Apple TV(through the DAC) is definitely not comparable to the Audio from the CDP.
I was looking at something like this.
Amazon.com: Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi HD USB Audio System with Phono Preamp: Electronics
Not sure if this is the one I'm looking for.
Can some of the senior FMs help me out on this?
-Thanks,
Tejas
