Icon HDP or uDAC2 best for active speakers
« on: 18 Apr 2011, 04:25 am »
It's come time to upgrade my setup - original Icon with PSU upgrade and S-1's fed from a Macbook Pro.

I'm considering some Quad 12L active speakers (http://www.quad-hifi.co.uk/model.php?sector_id=2&range_id=5&model_id=23)

Google searches mainly return using the HDP with active speakers and I'm wondering why the uDAC2 is not recommended for this task? Is the preamp output of the HDP a whole lot better than the uDAC2?

Cheers,
Jim.
