Need DAC that can....
I am currently looking for a DAC for my second system. I have a PS Directstream w/Bridge II on my main system. For my second system I am looking to be a little more thrifty.
I use a NAS storage and JRiver to stream via wired network so, the DAC will need to be networkable as an input as well as balanced and unbalanced. Everything that I have put on the server in flac uncompressed.
Any other inputs are fine but the main purpose is to get it onto the network. I have used wireless (bluetooth/propiarity wireless) DACs and have been underwhelmed by their performance.
Looking for suggestions and ballpark $$ (bonus time is upon us)
