Now that i have a old Mac Pro i would like to try a firewire dac

Posted by beppe61 on October 1, 2013 at 11:32:48:
Hello !
i am looking for a firewire dac.
I would like to buy an Apogee Duet even if I would prefer a unit with balanced outs (if i am not wrong the Duet has only balanced ins).
Nevertheless i am extremely interested to know opinions on its sound.
I have a very good opportunity to buy it.
What would be a nice sounding entry level(i.e. Apogee Duet level) but with balanced out ?
I am particularly interested in old but good sounding models and ONLY to the dac section sound quality (maybe also a little to the headphone out).
Thanks in advance for any kind suggestions.
Regards,
beppe
