Mikep, how long did you keep the ARC DAC7 and why are you looking for a change in dacs? Their new DAC8 is to be released soon. Did you think the DAC7 was the best in its price range? What were the strengths and weaknesses of the DAC7?
The reasons for all the questions is that I'm an ARC fan and I'm considering the DAC7 or the new DAC8 when it rolls out soon. I'm looking for a dac to pair with my Squeezebox.
