Sorry, I meant the "MF X-DAC v8" not v10!
Good DAC for multiple sources
I'm planning on expanding the capability of my apartment mid-fi setup, and wish to pick up a DAC that can *conveniently* accommodate several sources. By "conveniently" I mean a knob (like Aragon's DAC), remote cotrol, or auto-switching (like MSB's LinkDac). The sources I have in mind are an HD cable box and an upscaling DVD player, although I may later add a digital media server to stream digital audio from my home network. My amp is an NAD C320BEE.
I'm hoping someone can identify a few budget models that will do the job well.
One question I have: some models appear to have auto switching (i.e. MSB). Would this require me to be careful about which components (i.e. the cable box) are powered on?
I suppose I could also look at a separate switching unit, but am loathe to add yet another box.
Many thanks.
