In the Thread: To play my 88/24 files off laptops.
Post Subject: Laptop SoundPosted by Mr Underhill on: 7/8/2008
I've been playing around with High Def Files for a few years.

I use an M-Audio recorder to capture concerts, and now that HiDef files are becoming available I have been buying them online.

For playback I have been burning DVDs which I play back on a Meridian 596 ---> Benchmark DAC1. The Meridian passes 9624 out through the spdif, something most DVD players don't do.


I have been wondering about comparing this output, which is very good, to what I'd get from a laptop ---> Benchmark DAC1.

I have considered the Transit, but had read variable reports on the web.

Did you try taking the optical out to an external DAC?

Currently I am also researching USB to SPDIF boxes, such as the HagUSB - but most appear to NOT pass high def., and those that do are expensive enough that it would be worth my considering changinf my Dac1 for a USB Dac1.
