Best DACs under $10k? - Page 3

post #31 of 34
A lot of the new CDP have digital inputs. Plus others like Wadia, and Cary have USB, inputs. I would think it would be nice to have both. I just bought a Meridian 808.2i I can't wait to compair a CD to a digital source.

I myself find the digital inputs on my Cambridge Audio Azur 840c very, very useful.

New or used??? Makes a huge differance. If you buy used you can get much higher on the audio ladder.
