I have got Asus Xonar U7 USB sound card and m-audio Fast track Pro USB audio interface for PC/MAC. I connect these to my amp marantz pm8004. Music collection is mostly 320kbps mp3's.
I find the m-audio to be having more clear, refined and balanced sound. Though xonar U7 is more crisp at high frequencies and provides more bass. I like m-audio more. U7 seems unnatural to me.
My question is if I get a new dedicated DAC, then how much better SQ will I get an how much will I have to spend to feel real difference in SQ than my existing setup. If anyone can suggest a good DAC please
