Hi All
First post, so be gentle.I've spend hours reading numerous post on here, and I'm getting more confused. I appreciate that everyone has there own requirements and ideas, however, although mine are relatively simple I can't find the best solution.
I'm trying to decide what I need to add to my hardware to get the best results for my needs. I am only interested in listening to my CD quality digital files, mainly flac format. At present I am using a 2012 27in i7 iMac 12gb memory 3.4GHz processor connected by the headphone output to an old Denon UD M50 CD/Amp. This is feeding a pair of B&W DM601 speaker which are equally old, however in my opinion still very good.
I'm using lriver media centre 21 and the sound quality is pretty good.
I'm sure a lot of people will disagree but I think the iMacs DAC is good enough for my requirement, I think my areas for improvement is with the output from the Mac and the amplifier.
What would you recommend for a cost effective upgrade that would make a worthwhile improvement
Many thanks
