So many to choose from, gives me a headache practically, especially with discounts on slightly older DACs still available.All I know is that a GOOD DAC is probably very important. And it's getting close to XMAS anyway!
I've just moved my SMSL DAC to the computer station to join a SMSL Headphone amplifier. My next move then is:
1. Get a REAL DAC for my HiFi.
2. Get a nice computer friendly DAC, i.e. not too big, that will sit on top of the mini tower.Too many choices: The Sabre ES9018 seems to be a current fave. I truly CANNOT decide.
