I’ve got a Lite Audio DAC-83 (24/96) and am after advice on good options for feeding this via it’s AES/EBU or S/PDIF inputs from a CAPS V3 music server. My budget is <$1,250 – with their being some nervousness in spending in this area given the rapid changes in technology as well as potential the differences will be subtle at best. I’ve had great success with a Lynx L22 PCI card in a HTPC so would consider their AES16e card but it seems as if technology has moved on to USB-based converters. The obvious USB-converter option looks to be Audiophilleo 2 + Pure Power but am interested in whether new offerings (e.g., SOtM dx-USB + super clock + mBPS2 or Bel Canto Ref Link) have an advantage. Any advice on both the magnitude of differences in this space, and specific, offerings would be greatly appreciated.
