Ok, I've decided to return my DAC1 USB. I like it and think that it has a nice sound with the PS-1 but I just can't swallow the price tag. I know there are things I'm paying for that I'll never use, such as the headphone amp.
The threads I've seen on the VDA-2 seems like it compares favorably to the bigger players like the DAC1 and DA10. My question is if I go PC > HAG USB > VDA-2/VAC-1 > Lisa III > PS-1 is this going to be a good set-up? Will it be a downgrade? Will the HAG USB throw a wrench in the DAC's SQ?
Don't get me wrong the DAC1 is a very nice one stop shop but it's not wowing me and I think that is probably because of what I'm expecting for $1300.
