I've been using the original X-DAC from Musical Fidelity (about $150) with my Mac Mini optical output. It was not that listenable until I added a jitter reduction unit from Theta ($125). The results are now very listenable. Read the threads and you may find other options.
any cheap DAC for my Airport Express?
i am looking for a cheap DAC for my future stereo setup:
powerbook-->airport express(digital out)---> A CHEAP DAC----->sonic t-amp--->speakers(moniter audio bronze s2, or maybe b&w 602)
is there anything below $200? new or used, and i am mostly a classical music listner.
thank you.
