Best DAC for Sonos


I was thinking of purchasing either a: PS Audio Link iii, Benchmark DAC1, Cambridge DACMagic or Musical Fedility V-DAC. Does anyone have thoughts on what might be the best to go between my Sonos and Krell preamp? Are there others that might be better?

Thanks in advance.

The Sonos has a high level of jitter on the S/PDIF output. In light of that, you will probably want to select a dac that handles jitter well, whether through ASRC, reclocking, or whatever. Another option is to lower the Sonos' jitter by getting Cullen to mod it, as others have suggested.

Either way, I would consider minimizing the effects of jitter an important consideration in your decision.
