Well I'm fairly new to all of this - bear with me..
I have been using a B&O 5500 CD player with a good implementation of the highly regarded TDA 1541A DAC. This feeds a pair of active speakers via an integrated amp.
I'm now looking to move my music to my Mac and wondered what would give me a comparable sound?
I've been reading on AV forums about USB DACs / Macs - but there seem to be plenty of people dissing them and stating they all flawed due to the USB interface...
I had intended to rip my CDs to ALAC or FLAC.
I see there are various kinds of USB DAC available using the TDA chips in varying ways.
Can anyone shed any light on this for me?
Thanks.
