I am planning to purchase the Swan D1080 MkII to hook up to my Black MB (2.4 GHz, 4GB RAM). I am purchasing these over the M200s in order to keep the cost down. After a little more reading I have a few questions:
Would I get better sound from the Swans if I hooked them into a DAC?
If so, which DACs should I consider (best bang for the buck)?
Also, which interface--USB or Firewire?
Will a FW400 DAC work as well with a FW800 to 400 cable? with the different FW chipsets in the newer Macs?
I am also considering recording some podcasts in the near future, so would I need or get better quality using a DAC? I am not interested in recording music right now, only speech.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
