    DAC for iMac

    Hello, I just purchased a Rotel 1520 integrated amp, I am setting it up to my iMac and have ALAC files for music. Speakers are B&W CM5, my living room is about 12x13. I am looking for a DAC under 500, any recommendations? Thank you.

      I run a Rega DAC from my Mac Mini, but there are a number of good DACs available. But for around the $500 mark, Emotiva or Audio-GD make DACs that have had good reviews.
      Analogue Source: Rega P1 w/ Ortofon OM30, Digital Source: Mac Mini (late 2009), PS3 -> Rega DAC -> Amplification: Rotel RA-1520 -> Speakers: B&W CM5, Wharfedale SW150
