Quote:   Thanks.  I think you've convinced me to give the sa8004 a shot, with the hrt streamer as back up.  Now I just have to wait for the next shipment to come in; it has been out of stock for a while now at online retailers.  

Quote:   Realize I'm a bit late to the discussion, but could you describe in what way you think the V DAC II topped the sa8004?  I've been thinking about making the sa8004 my next purchase for mainly DAC duties (would also match my pm 8004 amp), but I'm also interested in saving money...
