The Onkyo UP-A1 does digital output, but the connector is unique to certain models of Onkyo receivers only. They have a second unit but I think it's RCA's only.
DAC that re-clocks for under $1000?
I am thinking about using an ipod classic 160GB as a music server, running AIFF, so I need a re-clocking DAC. I know about the Music Hall 25.2 DAC for $600, are there any others out there I should consider? Big Ben and PaceCar are too expensive for my modest system: B&W 685s, HSU VTF-1, assume Music Hall a25.2 amp, AudioQuest G-Snake ICs, current CDP is a 15 year old Yami changer. Thanks.

Pkubica, I was referring to the Onkyo ND-S1, see review here: http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/onkyo-nd-s1-ipod-dock-feaures-digital-audio-composite-video-an/ I cannot find this dock anywhere but on websites in the United Kingdom. It is not listed on Onkyo's webiste. But it apparently exists if people have reviewed it, I wish I could find it in the U.S. |
Funny you mentioned music hall 25.2. I was just reading about one being modded in this blog. It seems to be a popular choice for DIYers which means the music hall 25.2 has some hidden potentials. http://bursonaudioblog.blogspot.com/2009/12/music-hall-dac-252-upgrade-with-burson.html |
