I could really use a DAC suggestion!

Hi All-
First, I really like my present setup and sound. A little on the warm side and very musical, but still has plenty of detail.

Cary 306/200
AES AE3 DJH Sig (syl 6ns7w's, Valvo ez81)
Plinius P8
Dynaudio Contour 2.8's
Gabriel Gold I/C's, Stealth MLT S/C's, various P/C's

But, with over 1000 cd's and the same number of vinyl albums, I think the time has come to check out a hard drive with lossless noncompressed tunes through a DAC. Especially with the i-phone style interface that I think will become available in the next year or two and that will be the cat's meow! (but that's another thread....and I digress...)

So I need a DAC with a similar sound....my short list is:

Audio Note Dac 2 sig.
Electrocompaniet ECD-1
Audio Aero Prima Dac SE (also has the pre included...maybe that's an advantage)

Any comments on their individualc sonic and/or ergonic qualities along with comparisons would be really appreciated....

Enjoy the tunes!

Thanks, Art
