Not many suggestions for a cheap dac to rival the shek ... So why not try the behringer src2496 approx £90 ...
you will need to do a few simple mods to squeeze the best from it ...swap the rectifier diodes for schottky's and bump up the smoothing caps to 105 deg types ie the pannasonic fc's also damping the case and crystal is very effective. I'm running an sb3 into a modded src2496 which then feeds a quad99cdp [in dac mode]..for some reason this sounds much more lively than straight to the quad. I have no explanation for this. Without a good psu this set up is close to the sound of the quad playing the cd its not quite got the sparkle of the cdp but its damn close. -- zanash ------------------------------------------------------------------------ zanash's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12157 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37014
