Cary exciter Dac

I have two of these DACs and I use it with my SONOS system which is very similar to your Squeezebox. I can tell you that the improvement over an older Theta DAC I had been using was not insignificant. I never knew that the SONOS would sound so good. I think this is a great DAC especially when paired with a Squeezebox or SONIS or any other such system. I have tried it with my CD player but not really seriously.

It's best to give everyone an idea of what's in your system, as that at least allows someone with a knowledge of your components to approach a reasonable generalization about how the Xciter, or any piece of equipment for that matter, would sound. Would this be replacing a DAC you already have? What do you feel is missing, sonically? Etc. I had the Xciter in my system and it wasn't the best match, but I could also see how it easily could be in another system, as everyone has different gear, listening preferences etc..
