All of those DACS do DSD and that is a MUST for me

1) Benchmark DAC2 (http://www.benchmarkmedia.com/dac/dac2-hgc) (1700-2000$) - the cheapest here, the only issue is that doesn't support DSD128

2) W4S DAC-2 DSDse (http://www.wyred4sound.com/webapps/p/74030/117839/904731) - $2,499

3) AURALiC Vega ($ 3499) http://www.auralic.com/en/ - > high priced


So, what do you say? anyone heard all of them and can give me some comments about them ??

BTW
DSD is a must, and so is 24/192 and so on

I want something to do all hi-res music I have, and do it right

Seems hard to get a face off between Vega and Femeto DSDse! Still enjoying my DAC1, but have the same question as a bump.

Without trying to sound a dick, why is your instance on 24/192 a must?  define hi-res..... I sense some hi-fi-jedi BS going on....

Owns hi-res format files...

 

[pietsjef]

Should have added... nothing worse than having a file that cannot be played -- sounds better or not, you'll never know! I have a few files in this category myself acquired not knowing the limitations of my system. Stinks!

Check out the information at the top of the Computer Audio forum:

WAIT! DAC threads don't go here. They go in the Dedicated Source Components forum.

Much better to go there where the DAC people hang out
