looking to get a new dac, and decided between these 2. i can get both for about the same price after shipping (zero for ~$150, DAC-1 for ~$170-200. which one would be a better buy? ive heard that the zero dac has a bad rep for quality control. what the dac will be used for is to connect my PC through USB and gaming consoles through optical. output will be to my m-audio BX5a's through the pre outs, and sony MDR-V6 as headphones. thanks for any replies!
