I believe you coli ! As much as it would be nice to spread the word , not much worth shouting from the rooftops on this site though . I have a macmini i use ,so usb is my only connection i can used . Picked up this thing called a Duet2 by Apogee . It is a usb interface . i do not even know everything it is intended for but it works as a dac / volume controller . Absolute transparency . Every amp /speaker i use it on has limitless power/ volume attenuation . I am afraid to test the limits of volume before distortion as i know i will blow up something .And sounds better than any multi thousand preamp or dacs i have used in the past . Picked it up for $300 on craigslist . Pretty cool .
