Noob here, so hello to all. I've been reading this forum for ages and now I need some help from you learned folk!
I have a Win 7 pc (Realtek HD onboard sound with optical out) and a bunch of 24/96 vinyl rips. Playback via 3.5mm jack is just fine, but I have bought a CYP AUD3 micro dac (24/192) and I just can't get any sound out of it. Connected like this - optical/dac/rca/amplifier. I have spent 2/3 of the day clicking on everything I can, but still no sound. Would greatly appreciate any guidance from you guys. Best regards |

Absolutely, the one thing that you should spend the most on is speakers. The differences made by any other part of your system pale in comparison. The next biggest contributor is room acoustics.

The next biggest contributor is room acoustics. Very true, completely agree that speakers is a major factor. I've looked at furniture and placement and the like. In fact the best bang-for-buck upgrade I ever made was laying down double thick carpet in my lounge and some audio foam on the side walls. With that said I know I could do with better speakers, but they are relatively new, I like their sound, and if it's not broken - don't fix it. Just thought I would bring the digital side of my music up to scratch. |
