Is it worth to use a DAC between audio interface and amp

The lynx hilo seems like it would fit the bill nicely!

SPDIF in and out.

I think it’s best I send a digital signal to my interface from my guitar modeler (as this way I avoid an additional Conversion step)… so by saying this, that would eliminate the Twin X right off the bat.

But damm, that think is costly! lol

It’s pretty nice, a cheaper alternative to the hilo would be the adi 2 pro fs as that has the same feature set for the most part (but a bit scaled back)

Except I need SPDIF (RCA). It only has optical.

Ahhhh ok gotcha

But at this point, is there a level above the Hilo that is even worth considering?
(Not that I’m looking to spend more… just trying to see how future proof this DA converter would be!)

For your cases most likely no, yes you can go higher end get more, but in your case it prob wouldn’t be worthwhile, it could reasonably be a stopping point for sure
