Since we have a "What's your analog set-up?" thread (
http://www.pinoydvd.com/index.php/topic,193911.0.html), I thought it would also be educational for all of us who are just thinking of going into digital audio to find out how other members have set up their digital audio system. Please indicate your source (laptop, hard disk, DAP), whether you use a DAC, the type of amp and speakers that you use. It would also be good to know what you usually play - CD quality (ripped), flac, or streaming music like Spotify, Pandora etc.
Thanks in advance.
To start, this is how I envision my set up to be initially, since I haven't really had the chance to collect digital audio files. Hopefully this will change as my collection grows.
Type of music file: streaming music from Spotify, a few ripped CDs + various mp3s etc which I've purchased from iTunes over the years
Source: Macbook air + Samsung Galaxy Note 3 + NAD 316BEE
Music player: Spotify, iTunes,
Vox for my MBA, Google Music or stock music player of the Note 3,
Poweramp for Note 3DAC:
Fiio E18 Kunlun, NAD DAC 1 Wireless USB (still being ordered), which will connect both my MBA and Note 3 wirelessly to my AV receiver
This will connect to my regular HT set up which consists of a Denon 1713, PSB Image B6 + C5 + Mission M30i, Velo CHT 10R
P.S.
Items in blue font are as of 31 August 2014
