Hi and thanks for reading.
Looking for advice for a good multichannel dac for connecting from my pc to 3 stereo amps to produce 6 channel 5.1 sound.
So far in my dac search I have purchased an asus stx2 soundcard, it has a good fanbase but it turned it to be crap despite me spending a lot of money on discrete opamps, high quality power supply upgrades etc
Then i purchased an expensive arcam reciever, hoping to get away from all that pc noise from the soundcard, but the arcam turned out to be crap as well.
After reading a lot of information on this website i would love some advice on the following dacs:
Sound BlasterX AE-5, AE-7 and AE-5
Also Motu 8a, Motu Ultralite MK4, GIGAPORT eX
I am leaning towards the SBx AE-5 because it has a good review from this site and the price is about how much i want to spend.
I am purely intrested in sound quality not features, add ons, dsp processing etc
I am desperate to know if the other devices are worth the extra money investment compared to the SB x AE-5.
Many thanks.
