I am going to use the DAC1 for now since I listen more through my Sunfire pre & mini-mite monoblocks>floorstanders.

btw - why were folks mentioning using the DAC1 XLR as XLR>RCA with adapters?

That's a good question.....the DAC1 has RCA outputs (other DACs, like the Lavry doesn't). I'm just using the RCAs and they sound fine to me. I've been kind of weary to try getting into XLR>RCA wondering if that does anything to circuitry.

I PM'd Utep in regards to this and other DAC1 tweaks. I have other gear with unused balanced connections and wondering if the benefits of balanced>unbalanced can be found any & all components or if this is particualar to the DAC1.
