My HK CD player has a digital out, so if I purchased the Cambridge Audio DAC, it could serve a dual purpose.

| What would you buy Sub $350 Firewire/USB DAC An update--I am holding off on the purchase temporarily: I have a birthday in February, and that seems like a fine occasion for this purchase.

| Quietest 500GB Firewire drive? I would be inclined to put something together myself. The last time I did, I purchased an Icy Dock enclosure. They are a little more expensive, but they are very quiet, good for the drive, and have solid chip sets for USB, Firewire, and E-Sata. Ta... | |

Please see:http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f7/valab-dac-first-impressions-378459/index5.htmlIt seems to me that the Pacific Valve Co's NOS USB DAC is pretty much the same thing, but available states side.

| Storing Cd's on Hard Disk My two cents about the drives--Seagate makes a double platter 750 gig drive for less than $100. In general, they are much more reliable than the terabyte drives.Best,MP | |

| What would you buy Sub $350 Firewire/USB DAC I didn't see it on the site as a product, but there is the odd review, so they must be in some level of production.On a different note, has anyone done business with the Pacific Valve & Electric Company? They have a few options worth considera... | |
| What would you buy Sub $350 Firewire/USB DAC Ouch! I am sure that it is worth it (rave reviews) but that places this option way out of my price range. I'll have to wait until later in life to purchase that level of quality.What I am looking at is nowhere near the level of the Bel Canto, but ... | |
| What would you buy Sub $350 Firewire/USB DAC >>The Bel Canto box is $500. Includes a short length of Stereovox digital cable. I don't believe they are gouging us at this price. Rather, it shows what it takes to do USB right.<<Just to clarify--that is the price of the connector an... |
