What is the best used sub-$500 DAC?


I know the answer depends on many things, but I'd like to see how people respond without my particular preferences or system details/conditions. Thanks!

Don't forget about modded Art DI/O's, which can be had for a song these days. Still a very competative DAC. Lots of detail and resolution and dynamics and very musical. Able to handle soft, sweet stuff and complex music with ease.

It is NOT an overly soft NOS sound, so if that is what you are looking for then look elsewhere, but I've found that NOS DAC's generally can't handle anything with punch or big dynamics or that is complex.

Enjoy,
Bob
