The main limitation with the DL III for computer audio is the USB input. I would consider buying a quality USB to SPDIF converter first. I use a Audiophilleo 2 which is very good for the $$$. Sometimes come up used here, which is how I purchased mine. With a converter one can buy a older used DAC as an upgrade later. I use mine with a Bryston BDA-1 which I also bought used.
DAC upgrade assistance needed
Hi all,
I've been out of audio about 4-5 years. The DAC I own is a PS Audio Digital Link III.
Now, I want to get into computer audio with my MAC desktop. I'm only seeking to play digital audio files via iTunes/Pure Music via my home system.
What's a cost effective more modern DAC to upgrade to from the Digital Link III? I was considering the W4S Dac-2 @ $1500. Is there any other product I should also consider before pulling the trigger on the W4S Dac-2?
Thanks to all in advance.
