You can now buy a NEW PS Audio Digital Link III for $695 (regular $995.) http://www.audioadvisor.com/prodinfo.asp?number=PSDL3 http://www.musicdirect.com/product/74117
I have one and I think it meets your list of requirements except for the volume control. Not sure why you want a volume control on the DAC, though. -- audio53 Regards, Bob FLAC->SB3 w/SqueezeCenter->PS Audio DLIII DAC->Yamaha RX-595->Cambridge Soundworks Ensemble ------------------------------------------------------------------------ audio53's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5576 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=63217 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
