Hey guys,
I am putting together my first stereo system, and the bare bones of it all should be delivered some time next week. I was looking into some other sources to add on, and the Onkyo C-7030 seems like a solid addition with my budget. It will be going into my Yamaha R-S300 receiver, but I'm a little confused about something. How does this 192/24 Wolfson DAC work inside of the CD player? If CDs are 44.1/16 audio, what benefit is there to having a 192/24 DAC inside of a player? And if I plug this up to my receiver, is the receiver's processing going to screw with the signal and degrade the sound quality? The receiver has a "Pure Direct" mode, but I read somewhere else that if you are using a subwoofer (which I am) then this is not ideal. I'd appreciate any help y'all can give me!
Thanks!
