We’ve said in the past that life is too short to listen to bad quality music. While some people may claim to not hear the difference, people with ears can tell the quality of the vinyl, cd, cassette tape, high compression audio files, or low-quality data audio. That being said though even if you have the best audio files in the world, a failure in the system delivering it can be the bottleneck for quality.
For home theater systems a powerful amp with a DAC, (Digital Audio Converter), is a must if you want to get the most out of your equipment and your content.
Nowadays, however, we don’t get our audio playing through the speakers of our high-end receivers, and we get them from our phones, laptops, and simplified devices. While cellphones are amazing technological items that can do a lot, no one has ever considered them to be high quality when it comes to producing sound and presenting music.
So how do you bring high-fidelity sound to the audio enthusiast in your life? DAC on the go!
