Thanks, John.

I'll be doing some searching in the next day or two and hopefully come up with something in the $400 range.

Since you answered, and since you think that in blind tests people wouldn't know which is which between the $$$ and the $ processor: is it true that there is such thing as better DACs than others? And aren't the DACs the major part played in a processor?

Thanks again,

Rodney
