I haven't been a member of PFM long but have really enjoyed reading the various threads recently.
Can anyone explain why listening to you tube music videos with reasonable headphones (Meze 99 classics) plugged in to my MacBook sounds in many respects much better than a CD of the same music with greater dynamic range and a thoroughly enjoyable presentation that is totally lacking on the CD? I am referring to live recordings of David Gray with the LSO at St Lukes for example to name but one of many. I have a very reasonable system to my ears of the latest Rega Saturn, Naim Nait XS2 AND Proac DT8 speakers.
I am genuinely surprised and wondered if I could enhance the listening experience by adding an external DAC such as a Dragonfly.
Many thanks in anticipation of being educated by those with much more knowledge and experience than me.
