A user from Head-Fi told me that he will compare his Buffalo32s DAC with the Benchmark DAC-1. Why someone who would build a Buffallo32s DAC shouldn't write a review of his work?

For 250 $ more, I could buy a Cambridge Audio 840C... It would be very interesting to see how the Buffalo32s DAC would compare with the other commercial DACs available. I'm pretty sure that in the coming weeks some extensive reviews of the Buffalo32s will be written.

Hello, first of all thank for all your answers. Could you please suggest me better DACs in the same price range of the 840C? Someone suggested me the Buffalo32s DAC, but I can't find any review on the net... It would be interesting to see how it compares to the other commercial DACs.

Hello, I'm going to build a new system, and I need your experience . Let's begin by saying that currently this is my setup: FLAC -> SB Live! 5.1 -> SONY MDR-V150 which I consider to be real high-end (in fact it comes to an end). Anyway, I just wanted to step-up, and by reading many comments and reviews, I decided this would have been my next setup: FLAC -> ESI Juli@ -> Cambridge Audio 840C -> AMB Audio Beta22 Balanced -> APureSound V3 Balanced -> Sennheiser HD-650 Here are some informations: - I like to listen to different genres of music. Particularly I like Classical music (but I listen to Electronica, Rock, Metal and Jazz, too). - I would use the 840C only as DAC (I would listen to music only by playing FLAC files through my PC). - I would compose music by using my PC as DAW. - I wouldn't have any chance to listen to this setup. I've chosen the ESI Juli@ because it offers a good technology for audio production (ASIO, GSIF, etc.). Plus, its digital output equal in quality the one from the LynxTwo, as you can read here: ESI Juli@ – Professional Sound Card Many people consider the HD-650 to be one of the best headphones in the world, when properly amplified, and this is enough for me. I'm studying electronics, so I should be able to build a Beta22 . I am trying to decide between Benchmark DAC1 and Cambridge 840C, but almost everyone seems to find the 840C to be better than the DAC1 when using the HD-650 and a proper headphone amp. I am trying to decide between APureSound V3, Zu Mobius and Stefanaudioart Equinox. It seems that APureSound V3 is easier to buy and cheaper than the other cables. I think there could be a very good sinergy between the elements of this chain. So, What would you think about my setup? Eventually, what would you suggest me between the following, and why: - Cambridge Audio 840C / Benchmark DAC1 - APureSound V3 / Zu Mobius / Stefanaudioart Equinox Thanks to those who will help me! .
