Help me with a fully balanced DAC


Hi all,

I am looking for either a cd player or a dac to mate with my new Stax Omega amplifier and 404 phones (the Omega phones will happen next year). This amp is fully balanced, and I'd like to keep the entire analog side balanced. There are a few fully balanced DACs, but they are pricey - and there must be more.. here is what I know of

Assemblage 3.1
MSB Platinum (the gold is balanced but doesn't have balanced outputs!)
BAT 5 (obviously)
Wadia
Levinson

How about something that I could get for $1500 used?

Thanks,
Adam

I have a Timbre TT1 Dac with balanced ins and outs that I love. You sometimes find them on here for around $800 used.
