Hi,

I have an Exposure 2010 amp coupled with a pair of Mordaunt Short 902i.
This has been a great set-up but I'd like to move away from CDs -
the convenience of the digital age proves to be great!

The idea is to run FLAC audio from a computer -- transport -- high
quality DAC -- my existing amp. Hopefully this doesn't sound too
blasphemous.

On the transport side, a few options a

1. the S/PDIF output (TOSLINK or coax) from my audigy4 soundcard
2. the S/PDIF output from an upgraded soundcard
3. an audiophile level USB S/PDIF output
4. a standalone player - perhaps a Squeezebox or Apple TV

On the choice of DAC, I've considered:

1. Cambridge Audio s700 Isomagic
2. Musical Fidelity A3
3. DPA Bigger Bit DAC
4. Audio Alchemy DDE
5. Musical Fidelity X-DAC V3

Any recommendations of transport and DAC (and indeed over the entire
setup) would be appreciated.

Thanks,
jt
