I'll second the ZDac from Parasound. It really shouldn't be as good as it is :-). Also if you're a DIY'er, you can make some crazy good power cables using Oyaide Tunami cable.
What is your favorite budget audio component?
Just wondering for the sake of curiosity and general sharing and education among audiophiles, “What is your favorite budget audio component?” And as a bonus, “Why do you consider it budget and why is it good?”
Since budget might be relative, I would say audio gear like MBL, Wilson MAXX speakers or anything ultra high end should not be considered.
