I'm looking for a possible alternative to my CD player ; I've been out of the loop for years re. Hifi, and after an extensive search for possible options I'm more confused than before . My system is a 47 labs Shigaraki CD player with the Shigaraki DAC, and a Gaincard . Preferably I'd get some simple 'digital transport' solution that provides the best possible sound quality, and can also be plugged into the existing Shigaraki DAC (to save some money ). Could you give me some pointers on what to look for ? I've seen SD card players, ones for USB sticks and SSD hard drives, USB - SPDIF converters for computers, Hifi iPod docks, all presumably capable of high quality output . Also, I have a MacPro as my main computer close to the system, and a couple of older Macbooks that I could use as a dedicated audio player - if that's even an option ( as tried here : http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/musicloverdigital/digital.html ) For the Shigaraki DAC I have these specs : Input sampling frequency : 32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz (selected automatically) Thanks, and Happy New Year ! |
