DAC/PRE

Looking for a DAC with a remote volume control and balanced outputs to drive some active monitors.

Would like more than one digital input.

Any suggestions?

The Wyred4Sound DACs are quite boring to listen to in comparison. The Zodiac Gold has a precision stepped attenuator for the analog output volume control. It has a single ended and balanced analog input along with AES/EBU Digital in a pair of SPDIF coax inputs and a pair of toslink inputs too. USB too up to 24/192K on PC and 24/384K on a Mac. It has superior clocking technology to any DAC under $20K i.e. lower jitter. The headphone amp has its own volume control too. It comes with a remote control that allows you to choose inputs and volume control I have used it with great satisfaction and sell them. Neal Van Berg
