Hi FM,
I'm trying to figure out of buying an external DAC, is better than the DAC that exists inside my Denon1912.
I play my music via Jriver from Mac mini(HTPC) which I have connected to my Denon1912 via optical cable. About half my library is CDRIP/HDTracks and the other half in various lossy formats of about 256.
I am considering Modi 2 Uber DAC as a connector between Macmini/Denon
Are these external DACs worth it or should I simply stay with the Denon DAC?
Budget is an issue of course:sad:, hence cant invest more than $200.
Also confused whether budget DAC can do justice in my setup or wait and go for seperate AMP/DAC route.
Existing setup:
AVR: Denon1912
Speaker : Tannoy Mercury V4
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
