like to buy a dac?


looking to buy a dac. considered mbl and other high end but would like to get the sound without the high cost. i watch blu-ray movies and listen to sat. radio. NOT interested in owning a cd player or music server or down load music. also not looking to use a computor to store or manage music, i do that with vinyl. looking for sound, conenvience and quality. thanks

You need to think carefully. Generally to get BD to what you need for two channel you will need a DSP (something that gets you a "phantom center" and allows for sub or no sub in order to integrate LF info in the 0.1 channel). Most ordinary standalone DAC's don't offer this kind of functionality.
Sat radio isn't worth a DAC. It's all compressed and a DAC may end up making it sound worse (you'll notice that something is missing like highs and lows).
look at MSB the Platinum series has their own digital filter which is awsome nothing on the market can touch it
if you don't want to spend the money try

The DAC is the most important piece you will own
I own the Platinum series but I started with the Gold
