So while getting a converter is a good option for my current setup, when I get a new dac with a usb input, I would assume laptop > very nice usb > dac would be of better quality than laptop > very nice usb > converter > nice coax/bnc > dac?
USB vs. HDMI vs. Toslink
I understand USB connections when going digital is the best possible, but, that isn't an option with my current setup. My two options are, 1: use my desktop as optical out (kernel streaming), or, 2: use my laptop as hdmi out (wasapi). What do you guys think is the best option? Both can do 24/192, but the optical maybe sounds a bit more dynamic, although sometimes it develops an annoying crackle noise. Thanks for the help
