do consider the ARC DAC8...its an excellent piece and Im pretty sure it has balanced outs.
DAC 3-4k range
Time to start looking for an upgrade. Will look to buy used in the 3-4k price range.
Currently using an Audio Note kits 2.1, and like it very much in all ways. One perspective I have is to just get "more of it" and upgrade in the AN line, if in fact higher level models improve on the basic characteristics.
But I don't have a lot of experience with DACs into this new price territory, so I'm interested in hearing what other folks like so I can do some more research.
My primary requirement is balanced outputs.
It will be driven by a Logitech Transporter and feed an Ayre AX-7e.
