DAC w/Crossfeed

post #1 of 12

Thread Starter 
Is there a DAC out there that has crossfeed capability, at a decent price? I know of several amps that have it, but I'm already covered on that front, so I'm just looking for a crossfeed device or at most a DAC with crossfeed.

I've noticed quite a bit of channel separation on some older recordings (think Beatles, Herb Alpert, and lots of the jazz stuff around the same time). I'm wondering how a crossfeed device would change what I'm hearing, and would like to give it a shot.

Any recommendations?

I'm not much of a DIYer when it comes to electronics, so I'm looking for something already built or that I can pay someone to build...

It's not vary relevant, I know, but I'm getting good quality SQ from a Rockboxed iRiver iHP-140, and Rockbox has crossfeed, not in the DAC, not in the amp, but in the source!

Anybody has been mistaken that Rockbox has "better" crossfeed system than those 3 above?

That's exactly what I'm looking for. I can get my hands on one os several DACs that I like, but I need a standalone crossfeed circuit.
