Hello and thanks for taking the time to read this post.
I have a good quality pc and it has audio out via usb ( i use a firestone fubar 2 dac) and audio out via a hdmi socket.
Which of these 2 interfaces would be best for audio output to a good amplifier the usb or the hdmi. I am thinking of either buying a top quality dac or a top quality hdmi processor and woud appreciate a nod in which direction to go. I use the pc for work but do let the family use to to watch their beloved bluray, dvd, listening to cd's etc At a guess i would have said hdmi is better for audio but a few buddies have said the bandwidth of usb is good enough and there would be no difference, think it may depend on the bit rate the two interfaces can support.
Many thanks in advance. John.
