I have a silly question as my CD player is from the 80s and I haven't been keeping up with their technology.
I want to stream Spotify from my iPhone or Macbook Pro through my amp.
If my CD player has a good DAC and USB input, do I still want to get a separate DAC to achieve better sound from Spotify?
OR, is it best to run Spotify from my laptop via DAC to my amp to achieve better sound?
The DAC I'm considering is the Project Pre Box S2 if I need one. If I bought a new CD player, it'd probably be a Marantz CD6006. Either way, I'd be spending several hundred dollars, so I just need to figure out how to get the best audio quality from Spotify.
My system is:
Cyrus One (2017 era) amp
Rega RP1 turntable
B&W 602 speakers
Mission PCM II CD player
