Looking for a reasonably good DAC for under $500 which I want to use with my PC. I intended to use the DAC's stereo output on a regular basis but I would like for it to have the capability to pass through DTS or Dolby content to an optical port, for occasional use. searched Amazon, the reviews but could not see one device that would fit the bill. I am hoping (no knowledge of the underlying tech.) there exists something which will be better than the onboard optical port (it's a Realtek ALC 1220). The speaker is a Martin Logan Verse soundbar. It's in a home/office and this way it looks a little cleaner...
