Looking for a DAC to mate with either:

A. Ultimate Ears 11 Pros
B. Audio-Technica W11JPNs
C. Sony CD3000s

D. A and B only
E. A and C only
F. A only
G. A and B and C (not sure this is possible)

Bottom line-- the UE11s that are on the way are a keeper even if I hate them because they are custom built.

I would like to use my computer (mostly lossless) and a desktop arrangement with my Rudistor RPX-33 amplifier. I have a M-Audio transit.

Can you help?

What DAC used or new under $2,000 (above $800) would synergize best with the UE11s and W11s?

What DAC (ditto, ditto) ... best with the UE11s and CD3000s?

List of DACs owned and liked

• Stello DA220 (worked great w/ CD3000s -- not so w/ W11JPNs)
• Lavry DA-10 (great synergy w/ W11JPNs -- OK, good w/ CD3000s)
  - really liked with W11s and considering buying used and selling CD3000s.
• X-DAC v3 (a little too much of too much stuff but nice)

List of DACs owned and not so liked

• Opera DAC (felt congested IMO)
• Micro-DAC (not so good dynamics IMO)

Thanks!
