DAC's ?

I am thinking of buying an older DAC for a Rotel RCD 855 I picked up recently. The Rotel is a very low hours unit. And I have almost no money in it. I am wondering what some thought are on this. I have a couple nice Sony's, but I think the Rotel would be fun to play with. Thanks again for any input. -Mark-

Not with those buying terms.

I will just leave the 855 the way it is. It was a dirt cheap find, and super clean, so just another toy. From what I am seeing, with some patience, and some timing, I can get a very nice newer CDP for not much more then many of the DAC's I am seeing for sale. I am not in a position to spend $$$$ on this stuff. And I never would if I was. But thanks for the input. I noticed a couple of Musical Fidelity Units that sold on here for what I thought were pretty reasonable prices. I did see this which was cheap enough to play with, http://cgi.ebay.com/Mini-HIFI-SPDIF-OPTICAL-DAC-PCM1793-DIR9001-OPA2134_W0QQitemZ280424676642QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item414a9cfd22.

One things for sure. The 855 doesn't need much. Very nice sounding unit. At least through my very modest setup.
Seems like Soundstream is mostly car audio.
I think I would save my pennies and get an older Musical Fidelity Unit. I really like the look of their CDP's. And they are very reasonably priced. But I will land a a good DAC soon.
