You can expand on your choices by using Hagtech's "HagUsb." For the $129 cost of admission, you can use any dac of choice and you won't be limited to just those that have usb or firewire built in.
Dac recommendations for Mac Book Pro
I am interested in upgrading my Beresford Dac. I am currently using the optical port from the Mac. I use the Cayin A-50t as amplification and Merlin TSM-MX. My budget is $1000 for new or used. I am looking for a Dac with a smooth character. I am not interested in hyper- detail. Some of the Dacs on my list are the Stello Da 100 S, Apogee Mini dac, MHDT Havana. Is there a preferred port to use? I have a firewire port and USB 2.0.
Thanks,Bob
