Hi soix

Theta pro DAC

Thanks

Roscoeiii mentioned the Yamamoto YDA-1 DAC. This is a minimalist feature unit with only 1 rca input and output.It has an ultra simple discrete analog circuit(no OP-Amps) with few parts in the signal pathway. The power supply and transformer(150 va) are much over spec`d and premium quality.
In terms of sound,it is stunning with organic realism.
Very rare to find used.This is the epitome of a serious music lover`s component.It gets to the emotional core of music.Shigeki-Sans did an excellent job with this DAC.

Especially since you are running a digital only set-up, you might also want to think about the DSPeaker Dual Core 2.0.

It gives you a DAC and DSP features below 500Hz, as well as a number of other customization features. Got an award in Absoulte Sound and a good review in Stereophile. Very cool unit. Has toslink, USB and analog input capabilities.

And if you aren't a big fan of the internal DAC, the unit can also digitally apply the DSP and EQ and then output a digital signal to the DAC of your choice.

Check out the Hegel hd20. You can pick up a new one for 2000 and it sounds amazing.
