Put that $500 towards better speakers or save your cash.
To Dac or not to Dac
I have a NAD 525 BEE in a room with a second system. I would rather not buy a new CDP, but would like to try an outboard DAC, thinking I could always use the DAC on another digital device. What do you guys think of the Jolida tubed DAC (FX series) or the Micromega unit? I would like to stay below $500 new.
