I tried using my laptop as a digital source.
I connected the laptop with a USB A cable to the USB B connection to my Marantz NA7004 DAC.
Odd but the volume control worked on the laptop and the sound was not good at all.
I then tried my iphone, I think it's called a fast jack??? to USB on the NA7004. As expected no volume control via the iphone and the sound was much better. The Marantz was using it's own DAC.
Question: How does the iphone sound using it's 3.5mm analog jack out? I've seen that the laptops analog out isn't very good at all.
Or how do I get a real digital output from the laptop?
