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-

Perprtual 3A or Musical Fidelity A3-24.Both sound great, are fairly recent and can be had for less than $400.My favorite cheap/old DAC was the Soundstream DAC 1.They were designed in conjunction with Krell Digital and still sound good today!

The 855 was a highly thought of,good sounding and recommended player.It was subject to foot fault(skipping if not isolated from floor vibrations).Soundstream tried to get into the home theater/home audio market in the late 80's or early 90's.They had a line of slim profile amps and components.The DAC 1 was the sweet spot in the line-up.
