time for a new audio thread!

i want a dac with these features:
- s/pdif OR optical input
- balanced output

these features would be nice, but not necessary:
- usb input
- rca output

what's the cheapest decent one that satisfies these requirements?

i inherited a kit (homebuilt) one that works great! what resolution / sampling frequency do you want?

whatever. 16 b at 44.1 kHz would probably be enough.

does yours have balanced outputs? which kit was it?
