I've auditioned the Music Hall (and the Cambridge DACMagic FWIW) and IMVHO they are both very trounced by the Apogee Mini-DAC. A wee tad over budget but can be found second hand for less. Yes, very even-sounding, a tad on the warm side of neutral, detailed but not dry.
Best USB DAC under $1000
My modded Music Hall just got trounced by a Cambridge 840C. The only thing that's keeping me from buying a cambridge is space. I'd like to use the digital out from my Denon DVD or from my PC into the DAC. It must have COAX, USB & Toslink inputs.
It appears the new Cambridge DAC has different processors? The Music Hall looks good but probably not as good. The Cayin gets good reviews too. The top of my list right now is the PSAudio iii. Any thoughts or other suggestions?
I'm looking for very even full response, neutral sounding but not dry. Thanks for the help.
