Hi
I am using the free version of Hauptwerk, with the St. Anne's Mosely organ on my Dell Lattitude E 5530 (I5 cpu) laptop with 8 GB memory and an SSD disk of 250 GB, half of it free. It is running Windows 8.2 with the ASIO for all audio driver installed.
I use a Sony MDR-1000X Bluetooth headphone connected via a cable, to reduce time lag, this works fine. However I have noticed (I think) some slight distortion when combining certain pipes which could stem from adding "two" distorted sinus waves. It is not a real important problem, but I have been thinking about trying out an external DAC to see if the audio qualtity would improve noticeably.
As far as I understand the free version of St. Anne's Mosely is 16 bit and the full version of Hauptwerk can use either 24 or 32 bits, depending on the St. Anne's Mosely version installed.
I have several questions that I hope someone can answer.
1) Can the audio quality be noticably improved using and external DAC compared with my current set-up with the free version?
2) Will there be a noticable and significant difference using the full version with the RME Digiface compared to my current set-up?
3) I thought of trying out the RME Digiface is this an "overkill"?
4 ) How would the RME Digiface connect to the Dell computer via usb only? (The RME Digiface has a phonejack for the Sony Headphone).
Thanks in advance
Best regards
Bjørn
