  1. Many of the cheapish DACs recommended here only support up to 48kHz / 16 bit signals. With the emergence of the many hi-resolution downloads coming out, don't we need to get DACs that can handle 96kHz / 24 bit samples or better in order to get the most out of the songs? This would leave out the VALAB DAC since that only supports 48/16, unless you only plan on listening to your ripped CDs. Also, many of the USB DACs on e-Bay don't specify what sample rate and bit-depth they support. Many seem to be 48/16 at the most. At least the M-Audio and E-Mu products support the higher resolutions, though arguably in non-audiophile packaging. Anyway, I appreciate this thread. I'm somewhat in the market myself and would love to own something like the Benchmark DAC1, but the E-Mu/M-Audio toys are much more in my price range! Doug A.
