    Default Which DAC ?

    Hello everyone,

    I would like to ask a suggestion...
    Bearing in mind that all input of my pre croft Micro 25R are used, what solution you suggest to implement a media server ?
    Slowly but steadily, I have amassed quite a big digital library and I would like to being able to listen to it through my system...

    What solution you think will work best ?
    Any recommendation ?
    I am not an expert...
    Thanks !

    you can get an input switcher box to give you one or more additional inputs. Loads of them about starting at £15

    There's usually a QED on eBay. You could rewire it internally with better cable sometime if you're able.
    Just out of interest what are all your sources?

    Thanks Lawrence001,
    Better buy an already finished product...

    My sources are: Dias, Oppo, Hama, and a Sat decoder for Tv (Humax iCord).

    The QED is a finished product.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Yes, but I was referring to the suggestion of "rewiring the internal cables"..
