1K dac

hi

actually I don't need an usb input as I will feed this dac with the coaxial out of a squeezebox touch.

I wouldn't mind going on a used one, even if it's really old.
the only thing that matters is the sound quality.

my budget covers everything under 1K$

I saw the ack dac 2.0, It doesn't seem to be very popular nowadays, but I found a lot of thread around 2005/2006, what do YOU think?

thanks for reading

yeah I tried to find one but failed...

I've found new things, though.

first, I've found the promitheus dac (tube) from promitheus audio, wich is just in my price range: 900$ shipping included.

second, the metrum acoustics octave dac, wich costs 1K$ don't know about shipping.

arggh! so many choices so little money...

I have a lite dac 83 I bought on blind faith from Hong Kong (I have and like some of their less ambitious DACs), and am very happy with it. I haven't compared it to a lot of multi-kilobuck DACs, but it at least keeps up with my Marantz SA-11s2 and Mcintosh MCD-201 players on redbook. I use mine with a Squeezebox Touch.

If you don't need hi-rez and USB capablity, you'd have a hard time beating the flat-out musicality of the Classe' DAC-1 which sells used for right around $1K.
