California Audio Labs Sigma II DAC
Here is the Stereophile Review:
http://www.stereophile.com/digitalprocessors/700cal/index.html
A very favourable yet fair review. Compared by Stereophile to Levinson products, amongst others.
A search here on Zerogain for the DAC will see many people preferring the CAL Dac to a Chord DAC 64 at a get together a couple of years ago.
I upgraded from a Micromega T-Dac to get the CAL Sigma II, the T-Dac being a (from memory) £1,500 Dac and top of the Micromega Dac's.
I've been using it with a Meridian 500 transport, and more recently a Squeezebox, whereby it makes great sounding music.
It's just £325, and to be honest should consistantly come 'top' against anything you're likely to get for that, and more.
Collection from Milton Keynes, or postage at cost.
Selling to simplify my system and raise cash.
I really rate this one.
I have the packaging.

yes very nice DAC. Paid I think £450 for it myself (second hand of course) a couple of years ago.
