What's the greatest bargain in DAC's these days?


Hi, Gang,
I am currently running my Music Hall CD 25.2 CD player as a transport through my Musical Fidelity M1 DAC. I also have the Musical Fidelity V-Link 192 for playing hi-res files from the USB port on my laptop.
DAC's are such a fast-moving market segment that I started to wonder whether there was a "stupid good" DAC, even better than the MF M1 DAC, that could be had for well under $1000.
I started a thread in the Amps/Preamps forum called "What's The Greatest Bargain in SET These Days" that yielded tons of great info. I hope this thread does, as well!

I would look at the Schitt Dacs, hard to beat for the money. Upgradeable and non sampling if that matters.
I would agree that conventional DACS have platued in performance... I would personally look into better speakers, headphones for a quantum leap in performance
You need to go to computer audiophile site if you want more up to date suggestions. Agon is mostly populated by analog afficionado's who have not kept up with current DAC technology. Any DAC recommended that doesn't support asynch USB and DSD is obsolescent
