I would recommend checking out EVS (www.tweakaudio.com). People raved about the Millenium DAC 1. The Millenium DAC 2 was originally supposed to ship in September...then it was delayed...and delayed...and delayed. As far as I know, they still haven't shipped. They supposedly cost $1050. Another less expensive option might be to buy the $350-ish MSB Linc DAC3 and pay $200-$300 more to have Stan Warren modify it for you. That might be faster.
Outboard DAC for DVD and CD
I've been 'out of audio' for about seven years doing 'family stuff'. I'm trying to catch up with digital technology. Is there DAC's out there that I could hook my DVD player's audio outs to that would also convert regular CD signal? I would like to keep it under $2000. If not, if you had $1K-$2k to spend on an outboard DAC are you better to spend that on the latest generation new or a used Levinson or Wadia? Thanks for your help.
