Of course, i mean an external dac. I wanted to reread his thoughts. I think it was something like unless your usb really sucked (bad usb, etc.).

Thanks! I remember that one. I guess I'm going through your posts. It won't hurt a bit!

Found it, after about 300 or so posts. Really interesting advice in this thread: http://www.superbestaudiofriends.org/index.php?threads/nano-idsd-or-jds-odac-rca.748/

Really quite interesting and true in hindsight. At the super budget level, an amp makes a bigger difference. Just hard to believe that until you effectively get to Gungnir Multibit or at a minimum a Bifrost, DACs are barely worth it. For $250 right now, I say get a GOV2 and call it a day until you can spend 10x that.
