fgs6017 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Hello to CA. Newbie today. Been listening to AIFF computer files from nas through revo to audiolab 8200CD for a couple of years. I want to upgrade. I don't use cds any more - the tray has badly been open. I'm open to advice on what dac I should go for? I have 1-2K to spend. I want it to have balanced XLR outputs and I use usb input. thanks for your respected advice / input. Itunes-acer revo usb-Audiolab8200-Roksan caspian M2-PMC TB2. Link to comment

ecwl Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 This is easy. You live in the UK. Try a Chord Hugo DAC. Or the Qute. Link to comment
ecwl Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 And yes, I know the Chord DAC's in your price range don't have XLR outputs. But I think the benefit of a quality DAC with RCA output far outweighs the benefit you'll get from XLR. Link to comment
