New DSD DAC. Recommendations please

Hi all,

I'm currently using a Emm Labs DAC2 and a Vitus CD player (using the DAC via macbook pro) but am looking for a new DAC that can play hi-res/DSD files.

I'm not up to speed with the latest DAC's so appreciate some advice. Any recommendations for a great DAC that can play DSD files. Don't want to spend too much money on it (+- $5000 for used item), so I explore how much improvement DSD will make.

Appreciate your feedback

If you just want to get your feet wet with DSD, then this might be your ticket:
http://schiit.com/products/loki

It's only $149 and does DSD only as Schiit believes that DSD filtering and other types are wholly incompatible which makes implementation difficult. That, and they don't really see the benefits of DSD but if you want to try it.....

All the best,
Nonoise
