The Channel Islands Audio VDA 2 DAC is an awesome DAC for the money ($599), I can not imagine better sound for the $$$. I can listen to it for hours on end.
Looking for a Solidly good inexpensive DAC
this notion likely gets beaten to death, BUT
I'm thinking about a DAC for use with some mid fi components, and my PC so as to incorporate some greater ease and variety.
Because my system is all holow state, I am also figuring it needs to be SS. Yes? No?
A good sounding overachiever that won't break the bank will likely do fine. something in the $300 - $600 range. Give or take a bit... no pun intended.
Any experience or thoughts or any slam dunk DAC ideas would be appreciated tremendously.
Thanks.
