DAC Recommendations?
glitches:
Hello everyone! I just started my journey into audiophile land. I purchased a pair of HD 650s yesterday along with a Crack kit. While I'm waiting for the kit, I want to start purchasing all the other necessities before it arrives. My output device is a Macbook Pro. My research shows some decent reviews on HRT and JDS Labs DACs that I can plug into my USB. I want to make sure I have a the best setup for my Crack and headphones.
1)Do you guys have a specific DAC recommendation that will go best with my setup? 2) And while on the topic, any specific RCA cable recommendations? I hear blue jean is the way to go.

Since the BH DAC is now officially out of production, I thought we should get some answers in this thread. I currently have a MyDAC and am wondering what a significant upgrade would entail.

I went over to the Headfi forum to read up and ended up with more Schiit than I know what to do with :). I have a BiMBy for my Mainline/HD-800 and a BiMBy for my main system. They sound great, especially considering the price.

I highly recommend Ayre. I have a QB-9 DSD that sounds amazing (USB only). They have a new more affordable version that is basically the same circuitry and has more interfaces. Ayre is also well known for providing product upgrades so what you buy from them doesn't become obsolete.
jdm:
+1 for the QB-9 DSD.
