Kalman Rubinson does a brief comparison of two 5.1 channel dacs in the current issue of Stereophile. Neither of them qualifies as cheap.
Digital to 5.1 analog converter?
Hi,
i have a nice 2 channel preamp that has (had) a 5.1 processor added in. The digital part of the preamp died.
I’d like to buy a reasonably priced dac to convert digital to analog so I continue using the preamp via direct input.
This is a bedroom system so I only sometimes use the 5.1- I listen to 2 channel most of the time.
The preamp was around 3k and is great for 2 channel, so I hope to keep it instead of buying a prepro and replacing it.
Thanks in advance for your help,
gary
