At the entry level, I'd recommend Gatorized Caiman DAC. It'll set you back by about $380, but it's going to make your system sound like a million bucks. I've tried other DACs, some even three times more expensive, and Caiman gives them good run for their money. The only downside with Caiman is it takes a small eternity before it burns in. You can't buy time, so you'll have to suffer through its growing pains. But once it grows up (needs at a minimum 200 hours under its belt), it will reward you with a phenomenal soundstage and a warm, analog-like sound quality. After that, switching back to the internal Touch DAC will give you very noticeable degradation in warmth, depth, and presentation. -- magiccarpetride ------------------------------------------------------------------------ magiccarpetride's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37863 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84742 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
