Hello, I recently found this list and decided to upgade my music server to audiophile quality. I started out with winamp and ripping my CDs to mp3 many years ago back in the Windows 2000 days. Back then hardware was not readily available for audiophile grade sound in the consumer PC realm. The sound was good for background listening but whenever I wanted to really listen I had to go pop the cd in the transport and that gets old fast.
I think I have decided to go with a USB DAC. But which one? So many choices. I'd like to get one to match my current equipment since I do not plan to upgrade any of it in the near future. My current setup consists of the following:
ProAc Response Three speakers
Metaxas Solitaire II amplifier
Tag Model 1 preamp
Meridian 508 CD Player
Maybe if anyone has recommendations on three good USB DACs I could research on.
