I'm looking into getting a DAC for my current set-up, if of course I will gain from it.
My system is;
i3 Laptop >HDMI> Yamaha RX-A1010 > Sony LED/Monitor Audio BX2.
When listening to 2-channel audio (FLAC) I use Foobar on the laptop and Yamaha in Pure Direct mode.
Would I hear any difference with this set-up;
i3 Laptop >USB2.0> Cambridge Audio DacMagic Plus >Digital Coaxial> Yamaha RX-A1010 > Monitor Audio BX2.
I'm think I'm just paranoid that the HDMI isn't a great carrier for pure 2-channel audio?
Maybe i'm wrong and a DAC would not make any difference at all with my current setup?
