Hello, I just joined, primarily for the audiophile products. Looking at purchasing the NHT C3 speakers for our new living room. Space is about 15 feet wide by 33 long and they will fire long ways. Space is just for general listening, music room with all equipment is downstairs, so hoping they will fill it with sound nicely. Cheers.

But to complement a DarkVoice? A $99 ODAC would probably be good enough.
A for effort though.
It's not easy to list either, it takes years to listen to every DAC on that list. I must admit though, the Berkeley and Trinity ones are what I hope to listen to one day.
Best one I've personally used was a Musical fidelity M1DAC and the difference was minor at best, only noticeable with out really focusing on 24 bit depth audio files. I honestly doubt I'd buy one more than it though, it would take a stellar personal experience or someone or trust really praising it
I find DACs makes a bigger difference to speakers than headphones, I suspect it's mainly due to the way music is represented - with speakers you're in front of a stage and you're listening for realism. With headphones you tend to focus more on micro detail and tone.
