First off, let me say that I am not an audiophile. But I would appreciate advice from those of you who are. I am looking to purchase my first standalone DAC for use with my Squeezebox Classic. One that also functions as a headphone amp would be nice (I currently have one of those cheap Bravo tube amps), but it's not absolutely essential.
I'd like to find something for under $300. My goal is to find an entry-level DAC that will improve my listening experience. I'm not ready to commit to something high-end (and I don't have the funds to do so), but I also don't want to buy something that's inexpensive yet simply a waste of money. I've come across the following. I'd appreciate any thoughts (positive or negative) regarding these choices. And if anyone has suggestions not included here, that would be great too.
