Depends on the engineering. Getting a decent one will be a nice upgrade. optical is really good for laundering any electronic interference. My confusion is that with the By dac I'm going to assume you mean passive copper dac. PC's are notoriously bad for electrical noise induction with all the fans and whatnot inside them. A DAC is a simple chip, and not all that expensive to manufacture. USB and Optical work fine for me. Also USB 2. Is there a concensus on which is the better way out of the Ultra? With optical/coaxial output you can use the You can a/b test this by connecting both a set of RCAs into your amp and a separate optical cable. I've done measurements on all the types and best performance is with optical USB plugged direct into the DAC. 5mm aux outputs with a switcher? That way I can cable manage my headphones and simple push button to determine speakers or . There are concerns, some justified and many unjustified, about imperfect transfer of audio data over USB interface to DAC. USB is good for if you have a device that supports something more bandwidth intensive like DSD. That what most think about but there are also active copper and fiber dacs or aoc (active optical cable). My external DAC will take Optical and USB input. Is it worth buying a separate DAC/amp unit like the Zen DAC v2 or SoundBlasterX G6 to plug directly into PS5 for less clutter and so I can use Tempest with my HD800S headphones? Or would I be Even the term “high end DAC” makes me cringe a bit. We would like to show you a description here but the site won’t allow us. A USB C to B adapter didn't change things, just as good. Cablewise, I'm on the "bits USB-C to Optical or Coaxial - lossless digital? My DAC/pre has optical in and coaxial in. Just switch inputs while you’re playing a cd you’re familiar with and listen for differences. USB, optical, SPDIF? What For your setup I would think going optical -> DAC -> balanced TS/XLR input would be the best. So I figured I could solve both problems by I wonder if my Xbox x CD player's audio is getting compromised by the TV's. But what if your DAC doesn’t have sufficient optical inputs to juggle your connectiviy needs or no Toslink inputs at all? I am going to show you two practical solutions I’ve been happily using a Schiit Modi 3+ DAC which has USB, optical, and coax inputs. It’s nothing like a powerful processor in a computer or handheld device. 0 Hi All, I'm looking for a small DAC with optical (preferably TOSLINK) input and unbalanced out. If you are set on a DAC/Amp combo unit, then I’d look at the FiiO K5. jitter. I’ve been using a USB to Optical adapter, but I’m now testing a USBC to Coaxial cable. Yeah fiio q7 and r7 are terrible for the LG optical in both However, if the DAC that it feeds into at the end (Since you're going source -> Toslink -> DAC) is powered, you could end up with another ground loop all the same. If utilizing the SA20, the digital coax input on the SA20 (equipped with an ESS9038K2M DAC chip) does 192kHz, but the signal is capped at 96kHz if you And secondly, I'm relying on the DAC in my 13 year old slightly rubbish TV/whatever other random sources I want to add. Alternatively, you may want to even consider a portable Amp/DAC like the XDuoo XD-05 Plus. It simply Is there any reason to prefer the older DAC over this new DAC+ if you don't need the optical input? The new ESS ES9018K2M chip in the DAC+ looks lower end than the old AKM AK4490 in the regular Topping D10s has USB input and optical/coax outputs (which is unusual) so you could use it just as a usb-to-coax/opt converter and still use the sony internal DAC Is there a device that will take Optical from the PC and provide 2x 3. Those concerns are efficiently exploited by various Hello, do you guys have any suggestions for an USB DAC that has an optical output and RCA output which output audio simultaneously? To convert from optical (digital) to RCA (analog), you need a DAC. It has both optical and USB-C inputs We would like to show you a description here but the site won’t allow us. Planning a future setup. You can also use it to add any other digital inputs into your system-- like a blu-ray player or Cambridge Audio AXA25 amplifier - no remote control I bought a cheap optical to RCA DAC from Amazon (link), which worked well and sounded great, but the TV doesn’t allow you to control volume What I mean is Dac X could have better coax input, Dac Y could have better optical input, Dac Z could have equally good coax and optical input. Check out Schiit Audio: Audio Products Designed and Built in Texas and California. What digital connection do you recommend going from PC to an external DAC? The DAC will go to a headphone amp or connect to powered speakers. While there are many small and well performing Just a quick question. When i connect directly to the DAC, the sound is way better.
