I. My price range is up to 1K, any advice would be gratefully appreciated. M-DAC?
Thanks, Paul.
I am currently drawing up a short list of DACs to audition to go with a Nait XS amp and ProAc D18 speakers. The intention being to use it with a Mac Mini. My price range is up to 1K, any advice would be gratefully appreciated. M-DAC?
Thanks, Paul.
Seconded, I'm now using a TeddyDAC-VC (into an ST60 pwer amp), It has a volume control (motorised with remote), 2 coax inputs, 1 USB and 1 optical. Current sources are Rega Apollo via coax, MacMini/USB and TV/DVD/PVR via optical. It sounds as good as anything I have heard at the price, and is a neat and unobtrusive solution.If it was me and you don't use vinyl, i'd buy a dac with a built in pre, sell the XS and buy a S101 from avondale. IME these systems offer a lot of VFM.......
If you are going to use a computer as source,choose a dac with async USB.
Keith.
What are advantages of an async USB DAC and which in particular?
