1K dac

hi

actually I don't need an usb input as I will feed this dac with the coaxial out of a squeezebox touch.

I wouldn't mind going on a used one, even if it's really old.
the only thing that matters is the sound quality.

my budget covers everything under 1K$

I saw the ack dac 2.0, It doesn't seem to be very popular nowadays, but I found a lot of thread around 2005/2006, what do YOU think?

thanks for reading

Hi devilboy,

Sorry for the late reply,

Sadly no, but if you're interested I'm in the market for another usb:spidf converter as I find the audiophilleo/octave A bit too aggressive for my taste.

I recently sold my squeezebox system and I only use my computer now.

If you want me to compare the octave to another dac or the audiophilleo to another converter just drop me a line at :

Customcoco,

Did you get to try your Squeezebox (was it a Touch?) with the Octave? I have a Touch and I'm looking at getting an Octave to go with it, so would be very interested in your experience.

Thanks!

Hi lewinskih,

The only reference I have to compare the touch's coaxial to is the audiophilleo.

The only thing I can say Is that it sounded more closed-in and less detailed.
But you have to consider the audiophilleo was extremely detailed, Too much for my taste.

sorry I cannot be of any help on that one..

I recieved shipment of the USB/Spdif converter from Mapleshade. I am unable to use it because I am awaiting arrival of a coax digital cable. It should be here next week. I will compare that setup to my current glass optical.
