I have been on the lookout for a 44.1/48/96kHz DAC for hi-fi use. The
only device I found initially was produced by Meridian, and had a four
figure price tag.

On following some links posted here to broadcast equipment I tumbled
on a Behringer sample rate converter that also has ADCs and DACs and
costs less than two hundred pounds.

Its paper specification looks impressive and it appears to do
everything I could possibly want and much more. Before parting with my
hard earned money I would appreciate comments about the suitability of
this equipment for domestic hifi use. Specifically, what would paying
an extra 1,300 pounds for the Meridian DAC give me?

Thanks.



Interesting unit that. I've emailed them for a UK distributor. I not
used any of their gear before but I've heard good things said about it.

It seems that its very good value for the money, but these have been
from broadcast users where they don't have the un-controlled lunacy that
invades hi-fi..
