Small DAC With Balanced Outs


looking for a little advice on DACs... per the wife, i need to "get rid of a few of those shiny boxes" and clean up the gear rack a little. so, i'm looking for a small DAC, one small enough that it can be placed discretely on the rack behind other components and left on all the time.

i know the benchmark DAC1 when left on all the time will put itself into standby mode when no signal is detected, but am not sure if i can hide it behind other components.

any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Channel islands Audio VDA2 is balanced out if used with the Harmonic Tech cable. It locks on when a signal is present otherwise is off. I use it with the VAC1 power supply.
