The best DAC for the money


I'm thinking to buy a DAC, but not really sure which one to choose... Preferable with HDCD decoding, and reasonable price... You name it

Used Pass Labs D-1 with 24/96 upgrade listed on Audiogon right now for $2500. Puts most other DACS to shame. The key is the way Wayne Colburn designed the digital to analog coversion stages. Absolutely incredible sound. Run it balanced.
