In Reply to: OK, the DAC is the most important posted by Dynaudio_Rules on November 3, 2009 at 16:56:56:
And there are some DAC options that would seem to lessen the importance of the components delivering the digital signal. Based on my research (but not personal experience...yet), it seems that Firewire DACs as well as DACs based on the ESS Sabre DAC chips are able to greatly reduce jitter that might be coming from a digital source. There are also jitter reducing devices that one can put between the digital source and the DAC, but these may be unnecessary or may have less of an effect for DACs based on the ESS Sabre Chip. ESS Sabre DAC chips are used in the Peachtree Nova (which is much more than just a DAC), the Twisted Pear Buffalo DAC (frequently sold out), and the forthcoming Eastern Electric DAC (which will have the ability to switch between a tube and op-amp based analog output stage). There may be other ESS Sabre DACs that I'm spacing on, but these are the ones that have caught my attention.
