[QUOTE="chrisc, post: 829473, member: 746"] I have also listened (in my own system) to about 10 DACs and another 5 in other people's homes, my criteria are: Plenty of detail Well-balanced sound Slightly warm, as opposed to a general clinical sound Very good signal to noise ratio Must resolve all types of digital signals Balanced output is a boon Need to have USB, co-ax and SPDIF inputs For me, the one that ticked all the boxes is the DENAFRIPS Ares [/QUOTE]
