Hello. There are so many reviews here that I won't be able to digest and compare it all, so I'm going to ask straight away. What is the best dac under 100 and 150 categories? Ol Dac, SDAC, d30 or is there even something better in terms of performance/value currently? The main features that I need with it are:
- Lack of DAC self-muting, or anything remotely resembling it. Can't express how incredibly disappointed I was when my then newly acquired odac+o2* poped and clicked when any audio stream would be initiated. Playing songs in foobar2000, for example, is a constant reminder that dac goes in and out of slumber, making impolite noises in the process. Even my cheapo fiio olympus mark 1 doesn't do that.
- Relay muting as a cherry on top, not having any clicks-pops while rebooting would be a pleasant bonus. That feature is not essential though.
Thanks.
Edit: *RevB from JDS, they changed the default DAC
