| 1472197 | 2020-10-10 22:12:00 | I play mp3's from my Dell Latitude 3440 laptop but the internal DAC is not up to it. What advice can you give on getting an external DAC to plug into the USB port before going into the amplifier? Would an Audioquest Dragonfly be a good choice? | Krad (7878) | ||
| 1472198 | 2020-10-11 20:30:00 | How much do you want to spend ? always consider garbage in = garbage out Some mp3's are garbage (not all) , noticeable when played on good systems (hifi amp + good quality hifi speakers) A DAC wont help if the mp3 isnt high quality to start with. www.whathifi.com I had a USB DAC . Never used it , I bought a good sound card instead . I doubt I'd hear the difference between USB DAC & Sound card , especially playing lossy mp3's |
