DAC suggestion


Hi,
Am doing some system upgrades and thought I might take the opportunity to update my DAC as well. I have an old ADCOM GDA-700. I have a Marantz SA8260 SACD player but still use the adcom DAC for redbook because i think it sounds better than the SA8260..
Since I also have audio dvd, is there any DAC that can play redbook, SACD and AUDIO DVD? My audio DVDs sound terrible just piped from my pioneer into my pre-amp because my current DAC can not decode it.

I also have a huge amount of music on my computer (from my CDs), and an optical output, and for non-critical listening it would be nice to have a DAC that can accept it as well (USB or optical)

Thanks,
Terri

Matrix Mini-i. Inexpensive, sounds great, flexable and well built. $330 or so. Research and you'll find plenty of rave reviews. I sold my MSB GOLD Link with Monolithic PS in favor of this.
If your budget is $1k, the Rega DAC that just came out must be auditioned IMO. I can't say enough good things about it. As good as the Rega Apollo is, for equal money the DAC betters it in every way.

I think it'll be the next must have piece once the audiophile rags get their hands on it.
Thanks guys, I can't wait to see a review of the Rega. I'll look at the Matrix mini-i and VDAC as well

After a bunch of research on all of the suggestions, I had the opportunity to get a really good deal on a PS Audio DAC and GCPH phono stage. I'll have them later this week..
In the meantime my SACD player came back from service with a new laser and I don't think it's ever sounded so good (sa8260 Marantz)!
