DAC recommendation

hi guys,

What do you recommend/how much would I have to spend, to match the sound and performance of my Resolution Audio CD50 and Rega Planet CD Player.

Thanks!

And wondering if that exists for $300, new or used... What's the skinny on all the Musical Fidelity DACs up on A'gon?

I would reset your expectations at $600 and look for a good used DAC or a used HAP-z1ex Steve N. Empirical Audio
