I’m looking for a USB DAC / preamp under $1100 or so with a small form factor and good sound. And specifically, I am looking for a DAC with the following set of input / output connectors:
- XLR L & R outputs
- RCA L & R outputs
- RCA subwoofer output
- optical output
- coax out (optional)
- headphone jack (optional)
- Ethernet RJ45 connection
- WiFi connection (antenna) (optional)
- USB type B connector (the squarish one, for USB DAC functionality)
- USB type A connector (the rectangular one, for reading media files on a USB stick)
- RCA AUX L & R inputs
- optical input (optional)
- coax input (optional)
The connections above listed as optional are those I can also do without, but would be nice to have. My Onkyo P-3000R has a lot of connections, but many I do not need and it lacks a few I wish it had. I do not need CD, Tape or Phono inputs. On the other hand network functionality would be very nice.
