DAC with analog input ?

Hello .

I am looking for a DAC that has analog input.

My cd player/Yamaha cd s1000 specify analog out to play SACD or DSD.

The amp is Rogue Sphinx V3 .Budget is around 1200 dollars, new or used.

Thoughts or ideas?

Thank you .

You do not want a DAC you want a preamp. Preamp takes the analog output from the player, boosts the signal, adds volume controls and prepares the signal for your amplifier. Typically if you want high quality sound the preamp should be the best component in your signal path.
