In Reply to: RE: new CD player and DAC needed posted by airheadair on May 24, 2016 at 09:05:49
As someone explained to me when I was getting started:
Think of your computer as an equivalent of a CD transport. A transport reads the CD and sends digital data to the external DAC
Instead of a CD disc, you use computer files translated into an appropriate signal by your computer. You need a program like JRiver or Foobar to make that translation (from whatever format) into the signal sent to the DAC. So as long as the program you have can use the formats you have, you should be good to go
* Some frustrating setup may be required

Thanks. Will iTunes do this job safely for the files it can handle (eg. those on my list, but not FLAC, DSD, for example)?
It should work just fine. Lots of people use it.
