Which DAC or Sound Card

The throughput on USB 1.1 has a 12 Mbps pass through; 2.0 is 480 Mbps. BIG difference. I believe you can install a USB 2.0 card and get the higher throughout (limited by CPU).

I picked up just such a card for 29.95 from my computer guy this afternoon. Now if I could only get my hands on that DAC I ordered.

Thanks much for your help, Cerrot.

Istanbulu,

I've read some favorable reviews of the Iroc DAC, and don't doubt that it is a very good piece of equipment. But Kmamhi didn't want to spend over a couple of hundred dollars. The only price I've seen for the Iroc DAC was around $1400. Are Irocs available for less than $1400?

Hi JPO,

iRocs come up on the 'gon every once and awhile and are worth the wait imho! One was for sale early last month and was snapped up right away...don't remember the price.

Rumor has it that Larry Moore (Creator of the iRoc) is creating a killer USB DAC (as yet unnamed... maybe it's iJazz or something like that, one that according to rumor and lust far-outperforms the iRoc (I don't see how that's possible, but, hey, let's have a go...)), so upgraders might be selling their iRocs in the months to come as his new one comes to market.

Just a thought... why spend your money on inferior stuff when you can wait a bit and get something a whole lot better... jmho...

Happy listening,

Ed
