I am looking for a decent older mid-fi DAC to hook up to an Airport Express unit and want to spend a maximum of about €120-130 / £90-100 / $US175-200 shipped. The seller must be willing to ship to Germany. I of course have a preference for 240V units, but DACs that can be run from exchangeable external supplies are very welcome too. The only technical prerequisite I have – apart from being in perfect working order – is that the DAC should have an optical input. Minor cosmetic damage should not be a problem if the seller can supply a picture.
Here is my list of DACs I am interested in:
- Meridian 203
- Entech Number Cruncher 205.2 DAC
- Arcam Delta Black Box 50
- Parasound D/AC-1100HD
- PS AUDIO Superlink
- Musical Fidelity X-24K
- Arcam Black Box 3
- Audio Alchemy D.I.T.B. (€60 / £45 / $70 max)
- Audio Alchemy DAC MAN (dito)
Have something else of comparable quality? Different ideas about prices? Just let me know!
