Hi,
I have a mac mini connected to my integrated stereo amplifier via rca and I was thinking to upgrade.
My questions are:
can be an av receiver a good source for 2ch stereo audio connecting my mac mini to the receiver via optical (I was looking to a Yamaha rx v659 or v663, that has some good review for the 2ch stereo http://www.audioholics.com/reviews/receivers/yamaha-rx-v659/ ) ?
how much is the difference from a usb dac to the dac inside the reciever?
is the difference in price an effect of the different market share ( they sell a lot of av receivers and fews dac) or this is quality effect ( the standaolne dac is much better than the dac inside a av receiver) ?
Thanks for help me understand.
