good points, although i prefer an ethernet connected dac as it's a lot easier to run long cat5 than long db25.

Again, if you like building things, maybe a sound card is up your alley. You will only save a little bit of money. A sound card is not hassle-free though. I would honestly recommend a prebuilt USB DAC. I went from a modded sound card to Pangolin... pretty much like Gary said.
suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.
