I have a following setup :
Go Flex Home NAS ( Contains 24/96 FLACs) on DLNA --> Foobar on a laptop , the card supports and setup for 24 bit output --> Headphone out to L/R RCA to my onkyo TX SR 503 reciever . The reciever runs on Pure Audio mode which is supposed shutdown any audio / video processsing.
My questions are : Where is the DA conversion happening is it happening on my PC or the receiver ?
Will a optical / co-axial out sound better , because DA conversion happens on receiver ?
Should I replace my pc by a media player that is able to output bitperfect audio ?
Looking for guidance folks.
