Hi Dynaudio enthusiasts,
I ordered the DBM50's on Black Friday for $420/each (they're still at that price on Amazon) and just received them today:

They sound glorious through my setup! So revealing:
MacBook Pro > Emagic 26 > unbalanced rcas > DBM50s
I've been researching DACs for a while and the Audiolab MDAC is the leading contender at the moment. I like that the MDAC can also conveniently drive my Grado MS-2 (impedance: 32 Ohms). & it's filter options and connectivity flexibility are appealing.
Other DACs i've considered are:
I'm wondering if Dynaudio enthusiasts have any opinions to share about DACs in the $1000 range that have worked well with your Dyandio monitors? I will be looking for the balanced XLR connection and headphone out is preferable.
Many thanks in advance for your help.
