I got a Cyrus DAC X last week:

The only reason I am mentioning it is because I was looking for a high quality DAC with multiple, switchable inputs. The DAC X has four coaxial and two optical inputs, and so I have four devices connected already (CD, DAB, DVD, DTT). When I was researching DACs this seems to be very unusual. Most only have a couple of inputs, which is not very future proof, and in reality the majority expect you to only use one input. The DAC X will accept anything up to 192KHz sample rate on any input, which makes it slightly more future proof. It upsamples lower speeds to 192KHz/24 bit before the filtering and analogue conversion. Also it sounds spectacular, but that probably goes without saying. The downsides are the price, lack of remote control and unless you have other Cyrus gear it's an odd size, but nevertheless for anyone who is looking for a high quality DAC which can be used as a digital switching centre, check it out. |
