Well, you could spend anything up to £1000 or more on a DAC, and it would most likely make a difference. The rest of my system totals less than yours and I ended up settling on the cyrus DAC-X some time after listening to the MF X-DAC V3 on its own. The main reason I went for the cyrus is its switchable inputs and relative insensitivity to the source compared to other things I tried.
If I hadn't wanted switchable inputs I would most likely have gone for one of the chinese DAC's, e.g. http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20789 and I still wonder if I should have taken that route, and combined it with a DIY input selector - could have even incorperated upsampling. -- bludragon ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bludragon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1530 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21311 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
