I have a 27" i7 iMac and Dynaudio BM5A II speakers and look for a DAC. Which one is better, HRT music streamer Pro or PS Audio DL III? I heard usb part of PS audio DL III is not that good. How about its Toslink input with iMac comparing with streamer Pro?

I think it will come down to cost - as pointed out in the 6Moons review of the Pro, it costs a s*itload to get the Pro cabled and running in your rig. I would think long and hard about what you are trying to achieve and how much you are willing to spend - I am very happy with my MSII, but I find it hard to recommend the Pro based on some of the numbers being thrown around here:

You can find more about the PS Audio over at Computer Audiophile.

Thanks for your links. As far as cable for the Pro to connect speakers, I may use the cheaper one in the review, http://www.kvconnection.com/product-p/k-x3mmx3f-6i.htm. So the total cost with these two should be close.
