cd changer vs. pc
I'm not sure if my question is about Digital Audio Converters or not,
but would a cd played on a pc (to headphones) sound any different than the same cd played on a Marantz cd changer to a stereo receiver to 'phones? |

You ask for a prediction of what differences you are able to hear. Kind regards Peter Larsen |

Depends a lot where you plug it in. The phones socket on computer CD-ROM drives is driven by shockingly indifferent circuitry. Would you care to rephrase your question being more precise ? Graham |

The analog outputs of most sound cards aren't so great, neither are the analog audio outputs of computer CD-ROM drives. If you want the sound of a CD played on your computer to really be equivalent to a decent CD player as played through the same receiver, use a digital output from the computer to a D/A converter, and from there to the receiver. There are adequate DAC's around eBay for less than 100.00. A combination USB audio interface might be something to look at. Mark Z. |
