Try looking into Cambridge Audio's 740C and 840C CD players, which not only have good DACs but also have inputs for TWO different digital sources with easy switching between them. Pretty cool.
Good luck,

Good DAC for multiple sources
I'm planning on expanding the capability of my apartment mid-fi setup, and wish to pick up a DAC that can *conveniently* accommodate several sources. By "conveniently" I mean a knob (like Aragon's DAC), remote cotrol, or auto-switching (like MSB's LinkDac). The sources I have in mind are an HD cable box and an upscaling DVD player, although I may later add a digital media server to stream digital audio from my home network. My amp is an NAD C320BEE.
I'm hoping someone can identify a few budget models that will do the job well.
One question I have: some models appear to have auto switching (i.e. MSB). Would this require me to be careful about which components (i.e. the cable box) are powered on?
I suppose I could also look at a separate switching unit, but am loathe to add yet another box.
Many thanks.
