Bcgator, I tried the Peachtree Dac. I returned it. I did a blind sound test on it and didn't notice any difference with it on. My last DAC was a Theta Gen Va and I am wondering if I am a little spoiled as I cant find a DAC under a grand that gives me a thrill. Im trying the Maverick DAC next as it has a 14 day In Home Trial period.I will keep you posted.
