Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD

See here for a test of that Behringer DAC: http://nwavguy.blogspot.nl/2011/02/behringer-uca202-review.html
It is in fact remarkably good, and a masive improvement on for example inbuilt laptop DACs. I do enjoy having a few for less demanding applications.
It is not perfect, that is true. However, it is also not true that it should cost an arm and a leg to produce a top quality DAC. Moreover, these days standard Red Book CD resolution is no longer a challenge for any DAC chip set. See here for an example: https://www.jdslabs.com/products/39/odac-objectivedac/ Perfection has been achieved, and for a small outlay

Glad you believe to have found "perfection" in DACs at such modest prices. Apparently there are different ways to define exactly what perfection means, unless you've compared them to the best existing DACs available at any price. If you haven't done that such declarations are essentially meaningless, and really just saying nothing more than you've found some low cost DACs which meet your standards. Others may have higher goals and more resolving systems which reveal flaws that you may be willing to live with. To each their own, that's why we have free markets! Let the competition for the ultimate DAC continue here...

Perfection is easily defined in theory, and pretty easily in practice. It is the quality level above human hearing acuity. The good news is that with DACs that level is reached quite easily, and for fairly modest outlays. Quality wise, DACs are the most accurate part of the audio chain, so they deserve least attention.
Next down the quality pecking order are amplifiers, and then, much further down, loudspeakers (and cartridges).

Well now that we have that on good authority it's settled, so we can end any further discussions about such sound quality differences. What a relief! ;~)

Wow. Leave the house alone for a few weeks and look what happens. Lol. 

Ok. I’ve been enjoying the crap out of my earthshatteringly good Davinci 2. I cant explain how good it is other then to say that it creates visual cues within the layers of musical eddies and currents. One of my friends feels it lacks the last molecule of accuracy compared to something like the Emm product. But I feel it’s representation of accuracy is proper and not meticulous; musical and not overly analytical. 

I have moved my beloved ODSX to my office system, which has turned into a kick ass system on its own:
Aurender N10
Empirical Audio ODSX DAC 
Constellation Virgo 2 preamp
Constellation Centaur stereo amp
Torus RM20 BAL conditioner with dedicated 240V balanced dedicated stranded 10ga circuit
Focal Sopra #2 speakers

Shhhhhhh. Wanna hear a secret???

I have a Boulder 2120 DAC incoming for audition ($65k)!!! It has a built in music server. I’m school girl giddy to compare it to my N10/Davinci 2 combo!!!  

Stay tuned!
