Fellow head-fiers,
I am looking to invest in a low-end optical DAC seeing as how the headphone out on my Audigy4Pro is not clean enough for amping. Ideally, I would like to sever my headphone loop (Amp->headphones) completely from my source loop (Currently Audigy 4 Pro I/O hub) via an optical interlink to prevent any sort of interference. I'm looking at the HifiDiy dacs on ebay but would like to hear other suggestions. Perhaps someone who knows about these things could throw out a short list of low-end optical dacs. I would prefer RCA out, but 1/8" is ok.
Also, maybe someone could explain the possible differences between HifiDiy's 2 DAC models
.
Thanks
