Best DAC for DVD player

[arvindrjh]

Can anyone suggest a good DAC to be use with DVD player & mostly for stereo output. I have coaxial output in DVD player.
I have a friend in UK & I can purchase items from there also.
Some of my finding & price there:
Cyp AU D3--Rs. 3800
Pro ject DAC box E--Rs. 5000
Lindy brand DACs
Audiolab M DAC mini--Rs. 22500
Please guide me which DAC I should buy & will that make major difference in my setup.
Amplifier:Yamaha AS 500
Speakers :JBL Studio 230

Thanks.

Yes ifi was another good option, is it tested/used by anyone who can guide if spending 15-20k in dac is worth.

Normally a used arcam rdac can be picked up at around 100 bucks in u. K.. But they are damn unrelaible.

 

[arvindrjh]

What about Audiolab?

it does not have Bluetooth as well as no coaxial input... although specs are fantastic.

Don't use Blutooth if you're looking for quality. Coax or optical is the way to go.

if I micro iOne is a great dac. Look at the specs. If you like the features, I can assure you the sound is pretty damn good

I have around 10 DAC. Burr brown cirrus logic Wolfson sabre. The topping D50 is the best.

 

[Audiodoc]

SMSL M8A comes second.

 

[arvindrjh]

wow that's great I saw it's specs & Toppings beat all its rivals... Did anyone used Audiolab... I heard it is one of the best brand in world.

Coaxial from DVD will work?

 

[tuff]

Yes it works. The only thing i have read is the mismatch of CD and DVD sampling ratio. CD at 44.1 and DVD at 48. may be that is why CD players are sought for playing CD's.

Can anyone suggest the best CD player from below:
Denon DCD 520/720ae
Marantz5005
Cambridge Topaz CD5
Teac

 

[sunand777]

Marantz5005 or Marantz cd 6006

 

[arvindrjh]

Marantz price is on higher side... Have anybody used these players?
