I'm looking to play my cd collection through iTunes from a firewire disk connected to a g4. I'm encoding using the Apple Lossless Codec. My question is what is the best way to get Hi Fi quality through my Linn system.
The line out direct to the amp gives me a muddy sound compared to the original. As the encode is lossless I can only assume then that it has something to do with the D/A conversion in the mac. Do I need a seperate D/A convertor, if so, can it be USB, firwire or should I be looking at a G5 for the optical out option? Or can I run it through a home cinema A/V receiver?
Apologies if it's a newbie question.
