Can I do better for the same $$?

[rah50]

With the following limitations:

 

Windows only.

DAC must have a volume control.

DAC must be able to drive a tri-amped system directly.

 

For the same amount of $$, can I do better than:

 

Dell Mini 9 music server ($200)

W4S DAC2 ($1500)

Wireworld Starlight USB cable ($85)

 

The rest of the system is:

 

NAS

Mirage OMD-28 speakers tri-amped by:

Threshold S-300II on woofers

VTL MB-225's midrange

VTL ST-85 highs

JPS Superconductor + cabling

JRMC v15

 

Any thoughts?

 

Thanks,

 

Bob
