Need Suggestion....

RME's DAC is interesting because it's about $800 and is also an A/D converter. I can't find any real reviews of it either. |

I will ask a friend of mine, who has a DAC-1 and is waiting for a VDA-2 to arrive if he has gotten it yet. I am also looking at pickin up a vda-2 shortly. |
