Hi everyone!
So i've just purchased a pair of Beolab 4000s exciting times! At the moment i'm only playing music from my phone or laptop or phone using a RCA to jack adapter but i really want to do these speakers justice would buying a DAC help?? And would it be better if i used the B&O powerlink cables with a converter? Or to really do them justice should i just purchase a record player?
Cheers! Rory
The DAC on an Apple AirPort Express should be fine if you are streaming, A great low cost DAC is Shiit Modi. You might need to add a subwoofer to improve the audio in my humble opinion more than a DAC. Powerlink from my experience has no effect on audio quality.
B&O in my life 😊:
Great! Thanks for the tips Jaffrey! Much appreciated!
I agree with Jeff that there's really no audible difference (that I could hear) between using the PL or line-in of the BL4000. The PL might work better for very long wire runs (since it's a balanced signal).
