PS Audio Digital Link III
Just placed one on order. Wanted to upgrade. Needed something with Balanced Outs. Looked at the Dac1. It's the Darling at Stereophile. But all indications are that it might be to dry sounding for my tastes. Looked at Lavry. Actually gave them a call. Spoke to a Woman on the phone. She was smug...- achristilaw

Ubuntu/Linux and USB DACs

On my laptop (also Ubuntu 12.10) my DLIII shows as a PCMxxx (random numbers) device (or something like...- jtaylor991

PS Audio Digital Link III DAC
I'm getting ready to sell my entire headphone system soon and I have a PS Audio DLIII DAC as my "source", which is fed by an iPod through a Cambridge Audio ID-100 dock. Is this still considered a decent DAC? I know there are much newer ones out there, but I think the DLIII sounds great and...- texastrader

Luxman U-100R I can't find reviews or specs.

PS Audio Digital Link III vs. Schiit Gungnir???
Well, I just got the DLIII on Friday, and, of course, I already have upgrade-itis. Does anyone think the Schiit would be a noticeable improvment? One thing I like is that if you get the USB card, I will have full 192kHz/24bit capability on my iMac, whereas with the optical on the PS...- mackat

Looking for a desktop DAC with EQ or bass boost similar to FiiO E17.
Neutrality, pft! I admit it, friends. I like to tweak my sound. Give me color!! Blasphemy, I know. But all the same, the biggest plus for me about my E17 is the sweet, clean bass and treble mods I can make with the push of a button on the E17's EQ. I find it much easier to use, and with...- dmcs414

W4S DAC-2 Versus PS Audio Digital Link III w/Cullen Stage 4 Mods
Hi, Basically, would it be an upgrade from the PS Audio DL III (Stage IV) to the DAC2? I do not use the USB and I only use it with my Squeezebox Touch for HD 24/96-192 tracks. Also, I know the DL III upsamples but does the DAC2 do native with 24/96 and 24/192? Thanks so much...- mollymoo
