In Reply to: I have a Z1. Why use an external DAC? posted by oldmkvi on October 20, 2016 at 10:46:15:
No just one dac at a time.
Because I want to try an R2R dac. I just placed my order for the Yggdrasil at lunchtime. I was wondering what to use as a server for it. I have a slightly old General Dynamics laptop with a fresh install of Windows 7. Yes it's U.S. Army surplus. I bought it for my sailboat, but it never made it that far. Or I could have put a usb wifi receiver on the Yggy, but now I can use the HAP as the server. I'm sure the HAP will make a first rate server.
I really like the way the HAP sounds, and it's DSD remastering engine, but now I can add a hi rez R2R dac as well, and hear the difference between R2R PCM and DSD for myself instead of just reading about it.

Big speakers and little amps blew my mind!
