I am new to this chat room. I recently got the D220 expert pro core and Dynaudio C1 platinum speakers. I have a couple of questions regarding connections.
1. I am streaming Tidal via USB from my Mac laptop. I was told that USB degrades music quality and that I should get a USB/SPDIF converter. Berkeley Audio sells Alpha USB for $2000. Is this worth the money? Is this the weak link in my system?
2. If SPDIF is better, which cable do you recommend?
3. Some people recommend connecting ethernet into Devialet. How do you control the music choice if it is not going through a streamer or a laptop?
I would appreciate any thoughts on these questions.
