I'll keep this information handy as I have yet to purchase a USB DAC.

I liked the feature set of the Bel Canto DAC3 including it's multiple inputs and remote control but it doesn't appear to do what I want on it's USB input. The Benchmark DAC1 USB or DAC1 Pre are also attractive but have other limitations. You're probably saying, just pull the trigger dude and get SOMETHING !!

I even considered the Apogee Mini-DAC that has a Firewire input option (but having Firewire on this DAC means eliminating the USB input. Too restrictive). And it appears that Apple is moving away from Firewire on some of their most recent products.

I know that PS Audio is coming out with a new DAC soon and I have heard that even Cary Audio will have a new DAC sometime in Q1CY2009.

I like some of the very "high-end" USB DACs available today but my budget comfort level tells me to stay under $2K USD.

Thanks for your help and I'm looking forward to seeing what new options become available in 2009.
