USB DAC's ?

I am seeking advice / recommendations for a USB Dac to connect a Mac Mini to an Emm Labs DCC2.

The basic system is Emm Labs DCC2 SE & CDSD SE, ATC 50 ACM Actives, Vertex AQ Taga mains filtration, Mac Mini & WD Hard Drives.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated, I have looked at Empirical Audio Off-Ramp Turbo 2 & Benchmark Dac 1 USB but am not able to audition.

I did the Bel Canto Dac3 from a pc music server. Liked it a lot. It is also well reviewed.. slightly better reviews than the Benchmark (check the stereophile review)

I used the dac in a Krell and Wilson system.

Buy used and just resell the one you don't like.. won't cost you much to try.

happy listening :-)
