Higher End DACs


I am looking for a DAC (potentially streamer&DAC) to be paired in a mcintosh system (c1100/611). Its my first foray into digital streaming and I have no need for a CD player.

I see a lot of love for Esoteric, however, most seems to be around their transports? Are they not as renowned for pure digital streaming and/or standalone DACs? I see DCS (for instance) often referenced for standalone DACs - how does Esoteric compare?

Reading some of these comments relative to streaming makes one's head spin. Do you actually sit down and listen to music or just worry about all of this technical stuff. Glad I still spin cds.
Shame that this thread has been taken over by kenjit the speaker engineer's digital clone
Bo - Kindly be respectful of ufguy's request and start your own thread than continue to ranting on this one. Time for this thread to get back to what he inquired about and not your personal agenda
Your arrogance in not leaving this thread and starting your own is getting pretty tiring
