I'm thinking about dipping my toes into computer audio. From what I read on this forum, the squeezebox is an easy intoduction.
I currently listen to mostly Redbook CDs through my stock Sony SCD-777es CD/SACD player and am pleased with its performance.
Could you kind folks recommend a DAC to go with the Sqeezebox that might equal the Redbook performance of my stock Sony SCD-777es? As a first stab at computer audio I'm not looking for perfection or audio nirvana. I'm hoping that for a modest investment I can equal what I have now with the Sony and learn a little along the way.
Thanks for any suggestions.
