Dear friends,
I am in the market for a small dac. I will use it between my pc and a TPA3116 amp. They will power a set of b&w dm110. The pc, the amp or/and the speakers will change in the course of time. But the setup-model will remain the same. I love the idea of the dac being powered by the usb, so I don't have to worry about an extra poweradapter. The second important thing for me, is that that I don't want to spent more dan 125USD.
I found here and elsewhere online these 3 highly recommended Dac's.
Hidizs S8 DAC CS43131 @ €99 or 107usd
Hifime S2 Sabre 9038QM @ €80 or 86usd
The Khadas Tone board @ €99 or 107usd
My question is: for 125USD, what is the best option? And maybe there are others even better?
Greetings from Holland
ps: a couple of weeks ago I bought an E1DA 9038S, and based on recommendations from you guys, here on the forum, I returned it, because it wouldn't work in my setup(balanced). Thank you for guiding me then
