After much time holding my clenched fist under my chin, I have narrowed my desktop USB DAC search down to two brothers:
The HRT Music Streamer II and HRT Music Streamer II+
Needless to say, you cannot really find any solid qualitative differences between the two; just qualitative differences between their distortions, which say nothing as to how they sound.
So far, I have found out that these Music Streamers uses the PCM1744 DAC chip and an asynchronous USB which allows it to interpret 96kHz/24bit signals.
I also know that all of them get rave reviews as best-for-the-money DACs.
I humbly ask you, fine forum members, to assist me in my decision of whether or not the Music Streamer II+ is worth the additional $200 for my purposes and in general.
Here is my audio intended configuration:
Macbook Pro (already have)
Grado SR325is (already have and am pretty much in love)
Little Dot I+ (intend to order soon)
An HRT Music Streamer II of one sort or another
What do you guys think?
Vent your thoughts!
Thanks in Advance,
AndreyS
