Digital front end for Macs
I liked the 1100 Mac which is using multiples of the ES9018 32 bit sabre Dacs. Just a bit steep at the moment. To get by on the cheap - I wonder if anyone has tried the erc-2 as a transport. What is an economical transport to go with a 1k to 1.5k ...

Four Speakers one Amp - Help with this dilemna
