My current system is Gamut L5s with 2 REL Stadium subs, CJ 350 amp, Audia Flight Pre, Meridian 200 transport and V-DAC with Little Pinkie with Oyaide PC and either Transparent Reference or VDH TFU digital cable. I just got a CD , Roadhouses and Automobiles by Chris Jones, from Stockfisch in Germany; the electric bass is so good its scary, I think this is probably the best CD I have heard; the V-DAC has no trouble with the bottom end and these are subs with output below 20 Hz. The V-DAC is not a USB powered device and is very good with the standard wall wart but considerably better with the LP.
MF V-DAC and power supply
I know this is a very elementary question for most of you buy I'm hoping you will help. I have a pretty good basic system with:
1. Cary SLP-94 Preamp
2. Balanced Audio Technology VK200 Amplifier (SS)
3. Tube Audio Design 60 Amplifier (tube)
4. Rega P3-24 with TTPSU, upgrade subplatter (Groovetracer) and counterweight (Mitchell), Herbie's mat, Clearaudio Virtuoso cartridge
5. Cambridge Audio 650 CD player
I want to get into PC audio, so.......I ripped all my CDs into Itunes Apple Lossless. And now am at a loss (less)
I am thinking about buying a Musical Fidelity V-DAC with a power supply upgrade and using it to to play the files through my system. My questions:
1. Is the MF V-DAC good enough? That is, will I be satisfied with the sound through the system that I have or do I need something better?
2. Do I need to do anything other than hook the V-DAC through the usb port on my laptop and hit play? Or, do I need to do more in relation to lossless or to playing the damn thing?
Thanks for any help you are willing to give.
