DAC Help

Bel Canto 1.1 or maybe Musical Fidelity? Then there is this Benchmark thing which is out of the price range for now but I could wait. Maybe there is something I haven't considered. I'm looking for a DAC for around $600 used +/- to go with a Theta Data Universal transport, Hamonic Tech Plantinum cable, and tube gear. I listen to Progressive Rock mostly.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks -
Matthew

In today's auctions there is a pro basic2;my guess is it will go for 250/275---killer-for the price.

i JUST REPLACED A $5200 DAC with the ack! dACK! at $525 with a 21 day home trail, it is incredible. Give it a try and I think you'll be very happy. Mark Deal

Why not a theta? I've had theta, CAL, Audio Alchemy, MF and more. The MF was wayyyyyy to dark for me. CAL & AA were both clean and open. Theta's are great, just a tad on the warm side. You can get most for less than $600
