Hi Everyone,
I'm thinking of getting the U-DAC8 ($250, the only 8ch USB DAC under $3800) for my HTPC and buff it up with goodies (up to ~$1500) which I could still use when a better option for a DAC would come along.
Thought it would be fun as a project to see how a low-end DAC could benefit from high-end PSU and USB interfaces.
Options I had in mind:
tX-USBexp (sPS-500) --> U-DAC8 (LPS-1.2) - $1,250
PC --> tX-USBultra (sPS-500) --> U-DAC8 (stock) - $1,685
tX-USBexp + sCLK-48 (PC PSU) --> U-DAC8 (LPS-1.2) - $1,477
other?
What do you think?
