Looking for a good standalone DAC with SPDIF input.
Price is not a problem, but it must be good quality.

You want to spend $100 or $10,000?
Do you need 20-bit inputs, or are 16 bits just fine?
Do you need balanced out?

I honestly do think the Entech is a great buy and can be found used
for pretty cheap. The older Krell with the PCM-63 ladders is also
pretty damn good (but only 16-bit in) and people don't know what it
is so it sells cheap. Benchmark makes a nice one. I have one of
the Sheldon Stokes kit units from www.quadesl.com around here too
and it also sounds good. They all sound different, though.
