Hi there,
New member here on a first post.
After much testing, I've discovered that I am completely content with CD quality sound (16 bit @ 44.1 kHz sr). My background is in pro audio as a sound engineer, but I also live in a reality with a budget and a family to feed. Nothing extravagant is possible given my situation.
With this being said, I plan on using my old dvd player as a transport and use spdif dac through coax into a headphone amp with a through out into computer speakers, when I feel like it. Currently I am using a Fiio E10k for my pc and am satisfied with the sound. This is the quality level I'm expecting for around $100 US.
All I've seen so far is the Lindy Spdif DAc Pro with Headphone amplifier (https://www.lindy.co.uk/audio-video...s-c105/spdif-dac-pro-with-headphone-amp-p7010). Or using a Fiio Taishan D03k (http://www.fiio.net/en/products/7) with a standalone amp (which I can diy if is comes to less than $75 total i.e. parts,case and power). Any other models/options out there?
For my budget i doubt i could diy something together.
Any and all help is greatly appreciate
