Ritero Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 I have a Denon S-750H amp and a Panasonic UB820 that I want to use as a CD player. Looking for a decent (though not crazy $) DAC to convert the UB820 audio to analogue input into the amp. New or second hand. Budget say $300?

Ritero Posted November 1, 2020 Author Share Posted November 1, 2020 Thinking on this a bit further. What if I also wanted to convert my Apple TV 4k signal when playing tidal? Ie 2 digital inputs. Silly question perhaps but with the 2.1 system will an external DAC do a better job for tv/movies as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlr8or Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 I would also consider a second hand Benchmark DAC1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rock Puppy Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 (edited) You can get a Topping D30 for $160 from Amazon Australia, and give it a try over both your situations (player and tv). If it works, you could get another one for your television, and still be close to budget. I have one and, to these old ears, it does an admirable job.

Digital Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 (edited) Best option is Gieseler Klein DAC. Worth 4-5 times of asking price for the used DAC with amazing support from the manufacturer. AU made very solid Edited November 2, 2020 by Drunken Monk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
