Emotiva XDA-1 or HRT Streamer II+


Looking to start putting my music on computer.
Jolida amp with mods and CD player, feeding Merlin VSM-MMe.
Just spent the budget on the Merlins, so will go lower end on the DAC.
Both of these seem to get good reviews for the money.
Any thoughts?

One issue that has not been brought up is that the USB input on the XDA-1 is limited to 16/48, if that's an issue for anyone. I'm pretty sure the HRT will accept a broader range of sampling rates over USB. My collection is CD only right now, but I want to get into high-res eventually, so I'd have to buy a S/PDIF converter and place that before the XDA-1pm the signal path.
