I'm looking for people's experience using a PC as a transport. I've read a bunch of forums and people claim to achieve excellent sound quality that can exceed some cd players.
All my cds have been ripped using EAC and I'm hooked up to my 1066 via analog and digital cables. I've found the DACs in the 1066 to provide the best sound with both the pc and when playing cds on my Denon DVD-1920. But the sound clearly has more detail and depth when played through the DVD player.
Now I know I could achieve better audio quality with a mid end cd player, but I've grown to love using the pc for play lists and convenience and the quality is surprisingly good. My goal is to use the PC as a transport out to a USB equipped DAC and on to the 1066. I would like to surpass the sound quality of the Denon DVD player as well.
Is anyone else set up like this? Has anyone achieved near mid end cd player quality with a pc? If so what DAC are you using?
