Yamaha HS8 studio monitors( 47k available in cochin) which i have no idea how to connnect to my laptop, the reason for this post(sub same as above ) Aktimate mini+ (52k from reference point which they will ship)(sub if and when needed according to availability of funds )ģ.
my source is a sony vaio s series laptop with all my music collection in mp3(mostly 320kbps) and flac files.currently i have a sony SA D10 4.1 which are good for movies but sucks at music.based on my extensive research on the internet i have come to 3 conclusions which will suit my budget.( i ruled out the separates route cuz its never going to suit my budget and maybe i am not such an audiophile )Ī usb dac- fiio e7k (6.5k from amazon.in)ġ.
hyeah.I am from tvm,kerala.i have a budget of around 50k for a decent audio setup for my room which is of large size. If you ever want to know about the mod, then you need HFV member Linuxguru.Īt the next price point comes stuff like the ODAC, a legendary non-commercial design which its designer aimed at equalling devices ten times the price, and "thumb-drive" format units like the Dragonfly and M2Tech.įirst of all thank you for all your replies.maybe i shouldve been more detailed and truthful regarding my dilemmas. In fact, the HiFime Sabre USB DAC is under fifty USD! I have heard a modded one sounding incredible for the price.Įven without the mod, it could be a very good starting point to get sound to your active speakers. There are also different interfaces, but, for dedicated use with a laptop, all you need is USB. There are a few available, here's one company to look at: ESI, there are others.Ī DAC gives you just the playback functionality (Digital -> Analogue Converter).ĭACs are available at a huge range of sizes and prices, from under US$100 to tens of thousands. I sympathise with your discovery that it is hard to find a good one that just does simple stereo i/o! This, I think, is because the makers are concentrating entirely on the home/semi-pro studio market, and have left the home-music- listening market to DACs. An audio interface gives you input as well as output, so it can be used for recording as well as playback.
It can be called that even if it is not internal as in a PC slot - but audio interface is a better name for it. An audio interface is what is also called a sound card.
