The only reason I am suggesting this is because you said you are new to SB, and it is a well-worn subject around here:) Consider upgrading your power supply before you get a new DAC. It is cheaper than a new DAC and "may" improve the SB analog and digital outputs. It made a world of difference for me using only analog outs. I have compared it to Tact preamp's DAC using coax with good digital cable in bypass mode, and it was to my ears identical sound. Somebody on this forum is selling nice homemade ones.
Good Luck and welcome to the forum! Be sure to check out some of the internet radio stations. The sound sucks, but the programming is great on some of the "stations."
