Greetings, I want to get the best sound of my KRK RP5 G2, which dac is preferable? My source is FLAC from laptop, mostly listen to electronic music like vocal trance. Airy highs, fast response, warm mids and lows, wide soundstage. Any recommendation?

What is your budget? I am thinking about buying a dacmagic and some xlr cables for my rp5's.

budget slightly expensive then dacmagic would be acceptable...but i want the best sound for electronic music, dacmagic seems not really suitable (correct me if I am wrong)

I just got my dacmagic, and it sounds amazing, I don't have monitors yet, but I am using my KICAS and Denon D2000. Before I got my Dacmagic I was just using a portable Dac/Amp

I'm using the Lexicon I-onix u22 Audio Interface. It's pretty cool, balanced trs outs, acts as a mediocre headphone amp (350mw per channel @ 50Ω), MIDI I/O, 2 mic inputs with phantom power, and it accepts instrument input. It's a 24bit, 96khz DAC (not sure the specific chip) but sounds amazing.

EMU 0404 has balanced outputs if you want a cheaper unit
