good DAC , recommend plz and your reason?


I am in the process of looking for a good DAC for using with PC. In my past experience, I had a chance to listen to Lavry DA10, BenchMark DAC1, Grace m902, and the best of them Audio Aero prima DAC.
Therefore, right now I want something which is better than the Prima. I like an DAC which can make digital music become so so RRREAL and have romatic sounds.

Can you also tell me your reason why you love and choose it?

If you recommend me something so expensive(10k??? Uh Uh > <), then I think I have to look for the used one. In that case, can you also tell me a good fair price for a used one

Thanks

I'd check out and talk with Larry Moore of Ultra Fi regarding his iRoc USB DAC.

The iRoc is very reasonably priced and Larry has one up for auction (a promotion) on Audiogon right now. He also has a very generous (imho) return policy.

I really like the results of the iRoc DACs I own, both on tube and ss.

iRocs have been used by other mfgrs at CES to promote other products.

I don't think you will be disappointed, especially if you use a MacMini with high quality USB cables (synergistic research or ridge street audio) and ICs from the DAC to your preamp.

:) listening,
