  2. Has anyone heard or tried the new NAD M5 1 DAC? It looks promising. It is one of the few to offer USB and HDMI with video pass-thru as well as many other digital inputs. It is also a digital line stage with a very high resolution volume control. It has been getting quite good reviews and sells for around US$2000.00.
  3. That may be true for Macs Barry but not everyone uses a Mac and I personally don't like them. I may consider one for computer audio though. Firewire may be great but it is hardly used at all anymore as everything is going to HDMI in the audio video world. It's only a matter of time before no uses Firewire except Apple. Anyone who builds a DAC is really limiting it's viability by not adding HDMI as well USB. Most higher end Bluray players are adding two HDMI outs so one can be used for audio and the other for video. So does DVDO with their scalers. I realize this is a computer audio forum but if I get a new DAC I will not just be using it with a computer. Regards Robt.
  4. Thanks Barry, HDMI will be a necessity in the near future for Bluray audio though.
  5. I don't understand why more DAC manufacturers aren't using HDMI for computer audio.
