If you want a USB dac to be able to use a computer source, you'll be well served by a USB dac. If you're hoping that there's something magical about a USB dac that will "improve" the sound of a respectable CDP in the $3-4k range, think you may be disappointed. Personally, found that I needed to spend in the neighborhood of $3-4k on a dac to come close to equaling the sound I was getting off of a vanilla CDP retailing in the same ballpark (Meridian 508.24 v Ayre qb-9). Thinking that you can better the onboard dac on a well-conceived CDP with a relatively much cheaper off-board dac is likely not going to be a recipe for happy-making. Just my two cents.

Dear all,
ive been looking into DACS recently and i come accross this one while browsing the net. It is not very expensive relativly speaking. its small light weight and not very visually striking . there are very glowing reviews on the net. even suggestions that only the very, very best can better its performance.i find that quite difficult to believe. i dont take reviewers word for it, but they are able to point in a right direction. I would like to hear from owners of this dac. how would this dac compare to a dac in a 3-4k player? is it really only bettered by very expensive dacs? any views? thank you kindly
