Hi folks,
this is my first post and I have joined because of the equipment reviews done here. So far I have been reading, now I have an application question. My background is electronics, but I'm not too experienced with DACs.
Anyway, I've been a fan and user of active spreaker for 40 years now, using a DEQX PDC as 3-Way active cross over since about 10 years. The unit employs AD1853 ADCs and has a 3-Way AES3/SPDIF Output board built in. I am wondering about the sense of employing a more up to date DAC solution now. May be in the form of internal boards or an outside DIY box with balanced analog outputs to feed the power amps in the speakers.
For this I'm looking for DAC boards recommendations. Max. resolution on the SPDIF/AES connection would be 24Bit/96kHz. I'd like to keep the budget to ~100€ per board.
This list may help me, but it is sooo long and maybe there are some folks out here who are willing to help me pre-select from it.
Thanks a lot!
Besst Regards,
Winfried
