Hence for the same money I went Meitner DAC2X. Through the REF 5SE a clear winner. |

That's what I meant when I said I wish it had the Ref5SE's analog output stage (i.e., it's tube output stage)

I agree that the Ref DAC is not a great choice if you need a set up like that....absent a HT processor...which I would think is a better choice given the first three sources will sometimes be better outputting other than PCM signals. I have the first three that you list plugged into my Classe SSP800....only transport for CD and network Server go into Ref DAC. |

Not into the whole theater thing so a HT processor will never be a consideration

The blue ray player can be a transport, I use the Ayre DX5 AES/EBU outputs for that into the Ref DAC...and HDMI output to HT processor Not knocking your setup preference...just not agreeing that ARC missed something here. |

Cd-8 with USB dig input from music server and I am writing a check to AR. One less box , one less set of cables - no brainer. Why not??? |

What's your opinion on the DX5 both as a disc player and a USB dac?
