The reason I think I need a DAC...
Chris, thank you for your response. I agree it would be better to avoid an external DAC, but here is the issue I am having:Originally Posted by Stratmangler
I have just looked at your component list (all looks to be good kit, I might add), and TBH I'm a little intrigued by your desire to include a TC-7520, especially as the AV amp already does conversion duties.
Sorry, I should have spent the time looking things up on the 'net earlier.

The Primare does a good job with the DA conversion, but the processor is slow to lock in a digital signal. So one of two things happens when I play music using a hard drive: 1) Either I miss the first 3-5 seconds of a song, or 2) I hear the first 3-5 seconds, then I miss the next 5 seconds or so.
The only solution I can think of is to convert before reaching the Primare. Can you or anyone else think of a different or better solution? I would be thrilled to skip adding another component or step to the system. And I am assuming I should avoid using the hard drive's internal DAC.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!
Thank you again!
Sincerely,
-Adam
