Current set up: Klipsch RF-52 II towers, Klipsch RC-62 II center, BIC Acoustech PL-200 sub, Onkyo TX NR737 receiver
Hey y'all so I exclusively play music off my phone and laptop (mostly FLAC) through my receiver. And I was wondering what other audio equipment I can add to my setup to maximize the audio quality coming from my phone/laptop. Would it be an external DAC, a preamp, an additional amp...?
I currently play music through my phone and laptop's headphone jack but perhaps there is some equipment I can add that connects to my phone/laptop through its USB port and would be an improvement upon the audio coming from my headphone jack? Or is there just not really anything that's worth adding on top of a receiver and speakers and the only upward mobility is by upgrading those components?
I recently bought a Dragonfly Black 1.5 DAC and don't hear much of a difference but that might be because the Dragonfly isn't a very good DAC from what I've read. I also have an old Adcom GTP-350 preamp laying around but I think the left output might have gone bad so I don't know if its worth pursuing a new preamp. What do you guys think?
