IMO: The DAC2 is a slightly kinder gentler version of the DAC1 but the 2 loses a few of the 1s strengths. Some might prefer the 1 while others might prefer the 2. Your system could also influence a preference. For me it was a toss-up. Sorry I don't know the technical details of the differences.

If that's important to you that may be the way to go. IMO: DAC1s are a bargain on the used market. I would try to find a later DAC1 that could be upgraded to a DAC2 just to keep your options open. Might also effect resale.
