Hi Guys!
I use MacBook Pro with internal optical output and, sure, USB with DAC Teac UD-H01 (with optical and USB input).
For example, if I use Audirvana Plus with optical output there cannot be "direct mode", but if I use BitPerfect (plugin for iTunes) it works in direct mode with optical output. And both of them work in "direct mode" with USB.
The above just my observation, just FYI.
Question is, what's the better way for audio output, USB or Optical? and what player is better to use?
Thanks in advance for your replies and comments!
