I want to start downloading some high res tracks and experimenting with the whole digital tracks scene. I have a new mac mini to work with and my question is can i take a connection direct from this to my wadia 860, ie start off without buying a stand alone DAC? If I can I will see how it sounds and then decide what DAC to buy.All comments appreciated.
Im in Ireland but 3 yrs ago was fortunate to attend CES in las vegas, and to my mind the best sound I heard was from a pc, fed into Berkley DAC and with TAD speakers. Since then I have been putting off the inevitable so its now time to start.
