The $300 is for the DAC only, right? Suggest Assemblage 2.0 HDCD with upgrade or Adcom 700. These are solid designs and very analog sounding for price range. Also the Scott Nixon is very good.
DAC Noob - seeking suggestions
My 2 year old son just broke my Rotel CD player, so I need a new source.
I am interested in the idea of getting an entry level DAC with reclocking/anti-jitter. That way I could use multiple relatively inexpensive digital sources, such as a computer hard drive or an inexpensive CD/DVD player, and still get reasonable quality sound.
My system:
Martin Logan Aerius i
McIntosh MC 2105
McIntosh C 26
I bought all that stuff when I was a bachelor, no kids, and the "toys" budget was a lot larger than it is now. Budget is a PRIMARY consideration. Something that could be picked up used under $300 would be good.
Is there any such animal?
Please be specific with brand names and models - like I said, I am a total noob about DACs.
