I agree there is usually decent value in pro gear, expecially if you are using it for a pro job, like recording, etc :) Mastering engineers have very different objectives in listening to sound than audiophiles. I would take audio listening advice from most mastering engineers with a grain of salt. Pro sound and high end audio are two separate worlds with little in common. Van Alstine UltraDAC and the new Bel Canto are excellent, very musically enjoyable DACs in the $1000-2000 category. -- richidoo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ richidoo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3097 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30408 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
