Why Do I need a DAC?????

[StanleyB]

I keep prioritizing other aspects of my rig over a DAC, as much as I want one, and I definitely will give the Beresford a try eventually, if and when I find a reasonable source. Even at it's reasonable price, it's slightly beyond my monthly allotment, ...

So do we know at what sort of level of integrated CD player we would be looking at that would not benefit from one of the cheaper DAC's on the market?

Using this less-is-more theory, I could see the development of something really useful, affordable and great-sounding. Maybe you should resurrect the line you dropped and make it comparative with the lower-level HRT, which is another consideration of mine. I'm sure that you're working all angles and I'm anxious to see the outcome. Thanks for responding, Stan.

The Bushmaster is coming, and a few lucky AoS visitors have already heard and seen it. Have you ever seen a DAC reproduce 1Hz? No? Hang on to the furniture

1hz. at 120 db.
Better bring a change of underwear and a warm wet towel.

I use a cheapo 1543 NOS DAC I build from a kit between the optical out on my motherboard and the CD input on my aging Denon PMA 250 II. Works fine for me and much better than just using a 3.5mm to RCA cable.

I love mine and it sounds so much like the Dac Magic as it uses the same Wolfson chip set but it has a much,much better transformer and having heard both I think the little dot had a slight edge over the Cambridge Audio Dac Majic.
