Speaking of affordable chifi I bought a Fosi ZD3 Dac. It has balanced output and I wanted to run a long xlr run from the computer room to the listening room. Also ran an rca coax from the Theta Miles, so see what I thought. The Miles is a robust player and the transport never fails me. Balanced output meant double dac's for the Miles.The Fosi dac sounds fine to my ears from the coax or the usb from the computer. The Theta Miles is 25+ years old and the ZD3 is Fosi's flagship dac. There are certain immediate advantages to the brandnew circuitry although I am fond of the Theta's sound still. Why not?
The Fosi ZD3 Dac is another win for workable gear.
I'm running the BAT vk-3i as the preamp but I could run a single source balanced run to the v3 monos and use the dac as the volume control. I'd lose the subwoofer tho, so not going to happen. Magnepan LRS' without a sub just do not work for me.
