Hey hey!

I’m window shopping for a DAC for a simple computer/desktop system. Mac Mini —> DAC —> Adam A5x.

Right now I’m using a Focusrite Scarlett Solo that I’m looking to upgrade for (A) improved sound quality - something smooth - speakers plenty detailed and unforgiving and (B) remote volume!

Any thoughts / suggestions under $800 new or used.

Teac UD 503 is my top choice at the moment.

Ah, so you're looking for high-end.

Unfortunately, I only really have impressions of Chi-fi, and for $800 I'd recommend the D90LE from Topping and the SMSL SU-10

Those are interesting choices, though my gut is that the Teac would be a better match for this system.

Also interested in the RME-ADI-2, but it’s more than I want to spend, but still considering it.
