Need DAC Advice


I'm looking for a not too vintage high performer. These are my current options, open to suggestion. Tks.

1.EAD DSP7000 SerIII.
2.Parasound 2000 Ultra.
3.PS Audio Ultralink
4.Theta GenV.

Can someone who heard any of these tell me something more about them? Tks.

check out the older audio research units. i purchased an audio research dac2 unit and imo, thought it was better than the theta.
the theta model was the generation series v from the late 90's. it was very nice but i prefer the sound of the audio research. it is all about personal preference. i could have easily lived with the theta in my setup. i also auditioned a brand new (a couple of year old model) manley junior dac for a few months. there was a lot of popping and clicking when the cd player started reading a new disc. very annoying. i preferred the sound of the audio research.
