Maybe.

But the problem is that I love the sound of my (old) D70 dac! A bit dry, yes, but it sounds fundamentally 'correct'.

When I find a USB dac with HDCD capability, true multibit converters (preferably BB 1704s) and an ability to play up to 192KHz sample rates (after all, who knows where the future of downloads is going)... I'll buy it!

For now, I'm looking to find a decent interface for my dac. One that conforms to the AES3 standard (dual wire in particular), has a wordclock input and one that doesn't change the data.

My choices right now are the Weiss AFI1 or the Lynx AES16 (using a Magma Expressbox).

Any thoughts?

Mani.
