Running a VDac as well to facilitate internet music streaming and work in the limited space I have for it (it is tiny!). To break it in until my netbook arrives, I've been using the digital out from my Upgrade Factory modified Denon 2910. The Denon is just serving as a transport for CDs. Really, really enjoying it. Timztunz' description of sonics are spot on to my ear as well. It is at leat equal to and maybe subtly better than the Denon. I haven't done comparisons with other DACs, so I can't say there aren't better at this price (Beresford?)but I'm happy.
Which DAC?
I'm setting up a small PC based system in my office and am interested in a DAC. I see good things about the Music Fidelity vDAC and the HRT+ external DACs.
Both are priced at just under $300. I don't spend more. No harm in spending less.
Any thoughts on pros and cons soundwise of each. Would go into a low power tube amp and small speakers.
I'm assuming one would need the ears of a dog to hear any difference but am just curious.
