Based on what I've understood the built-in DAC is going to be really good and in that case I think we only need to consider users with high-end external DACs.
However, support for UAC2 is of course still important if we are targeting high-end audiophile users who have high-end external DACs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97881 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
