🤯 thank you but man that was a lot to absorb lol
As a general rule…does analog sound trump digital for music? I.e. is it worth running a cd player into a dac as opposed to directly to an amp/receiver? Is the extra step worth it?
Do u need an amplifier if you’re connecting a desktop to speakers that have a 3.5 mm cable???
Good tips, for older models to newer models, I learned something , thank you for the audio Stereo lesson . 👍✅️
