Building a high-end digital audio system
What does it take to build a digital system that doesn’t sound digital? This episode explores the path to high-end digital audio, drawing from The Audiophile’s Guide to break down sources, DACs, streamers, and the critical role of clean power and timing. From choosing lossless formats to optimizing your signal chain, it’s about more than convenience—it’s about making music feel alive. Whether you’re upgrading from a laptop or diving into DSD, this is where digital gets serious.
