Hi, I'm a newcomer to all this and your forum.
My setup is:
Laptop Lenovo P51 Windows 10 Pro with external USB 3 WD My Book 6 TB HDD, connected with Audioquest Carbon cable.
My Laptop is connected to my new NAD M51 via Audioquest Carbon cable.
My NAD M51 is connected to my NAD C375BEE amp via Audioquest Mackenzie RCA cable.
My NAD C375BEE amp is connected to 1 pair of DALI Rubicon 6 and to 1 pair of DALI Rubicon 8 (2 rooms ensuite).
I have for 4 years used NAD Wireless DAC 2 with no problems and Winamp 5.666 Pro (it is easy to get used to and I love the dark skins).
I listen to FLAC 16-44 and a few 24-96 (I can’t really hear any difference!?)
Now my NAD Wireless DAC 2 is broken and I have just got my self a NAD M51.
My questions:
1. Is there other good software that can make my music sound better? I have heard about Foobar2000, but I’m scared of how I get an awesome skin, I hate the default layout.
Of course, the sound is the most important, but I would love a skin/theme like the one I can find on the internet (see attached Images).
2. I love the warm soft sound from my NAD C375BEE amp. Do you recommend that I don’t use the preamp in NAD M51 and just fix the volume on M51?
3. Do I need extra drivers besides NADUSBAudio_v4.13.0_2017-09-04_setup.exe?
I have heard about ASIO4ALL_2_14_English.exe, what is this?
A lot of questions, I’m sorry, but I’m just an ignorant beginner, 62 years old, but don’t think it is too late .
I do appreciate all your inputs.
Best regards Jesper, Copenhagen, Denmark
