I really need some help from some DAC experts. There are so many DACs available, I'm just not sure what to get and don't want to make costly mistakes buying the wrong thing. Most appear to be headphone amps which is not what I want and keeping the price south of $1000
I have a vintage Pioneer Spec 1 & 4 system running through JBL 240ti speakers. I also have a Denon DVD 756 player (I went with it because its silver!) that has digital optical outs on it.
I'm looking for a DAC that I can play the CDP through that will improve my audio for CDs.
I also use Tidal service and for now just use the headphone jack on my LG V20 phone to go to one of the Aux ports on the Pioneer preamp.
I was thinking about setting a laptop up at the stereo to store all my offline music content from Tidal (which I prefer to play instead of stream as my internet service is always sketchy and Tidal taxes it out causing pauses and interuptions)
Is there a DAC anyone can suggest that will help me with both the Denon CD player and my Tidal service that isn't a headphone amp DAC?
Thanks in advance.
