Ok, so I am hunting for cheap (looking for ~$150 or less), but quality DAC and/or AMP for headphones and speakers that will hook up to my computer. Preferably, I would like a Home theater potential in the source. Therefore, I have been looking for an HT receiver.
Currently, I have been hunting via craiglist and FS threads here and there.
I bumped into a JVC RX-717V. It is an old 1995 model, apparently, but the guy wants to sell it near the price that it still goes for ($125). I will probably attempt to haggle it down to at least below $100. Not sure if it will happen, though. I would like to see what you guys think of this receiver because I have not been able to find much information on it. I saw a couple people post favorable reviews here and there, but that's about it. I would rather hear from the pros that surf these forums.
If not these, then any other suggestions? I have also been looking into that modded Prelude ($150) and/or X-Fi Platinum ($125) in the FS threads. But those are in the upper reaches of my budget. So... I dunno.
