All i have to say about DACs is this:
Get a newer one. I just auditioned the MSB link dacIII with half Nelson upgrade and upsampling in combination with a VERY CHEAP pioneer multi-player...
This combination COMPLETELY DESTROYED a REGA Plantet 2000 stand alone AND it was markedly better than a five year old esoteric audio DAC that used to retail for 3000 canadian..(Whatever that is American, i dont' know off hand).
I'm telling you, if you want a great dac at a reasonable cost, look at MSB link dacIII - but make sure it has the Half Nelson upgrade...
you can later upgrade by installing upsampling and a power base.
Killer. Killer, i tell ya!!
