If you had to downgrade your entire rig to $500 ...

It seems to me that there should be bargains available on older DACs without the USB feature that all the cool kids (not me) are using these days. Can anyone (Dinny at least) suggest good ones from years gone by? The original DAC1 springs to mind, not that I've had the opportunity to hear it, but it's still going for $1000 on ebay now (wtf?) (edit: I know it's a bit cheaper elsewhere, but still outside the $500 range).

We've had a bunch of discussions about this, but I don't think they're concentrated in one thread. I did a search on "vintage" in the source section and it yielded some results that should keep you occupied for a little while.

EDIT: Shite, I can't figure out how to link to my search results. Well, regardless, do the search that I describe and that will at least get you started.

Hope it helps.
