Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

RE: DAC - Budget?

Almost all dacs now have a USB input, and most offer single ended RCA outputs.

What is your budget?

There are reasonable dacs starting at a couple hundred all the way to 5 figures, all that will have the inputs and output you need.

If your custom preamp is real high end, check out the PS Audio Directstream dacs, or for $2200 look at the Benchmark Dac3, it is brand new. I have a Dac2 that is very good. And buying used will get you a lot more for your money. A lot of people upgrade dacs, so there are a lot of good deals to be had.

You need to give us your budget and any other criteria.

For the first time in 40+ years I found I now need a dac with 4 inputs. Between the USB, I also needed an input for my CD transport, my Oppo, and a digital sattelite tuner. So you need to be more specific in your needs.
