Can anyone recommend a good USB D/A to go from my laptop computer to a set of powered EV Sentry 100EL monitors?
I've had the HRT Music Streamer 2 (Amazon.com: HRT Music Streamer II High Resolution USB D/A Converter: Computers & Accessories) recommended to me, but I'd prefer something with balanced outputs so I can use it professionally if the need arises.
I would really like a Sound Devices USBpre2 but I'm not sure I'd use the preamp enough to warrant buying it at $600 vs a stand alone D/A.
I was thinking about picking up a Peavey USB-P DI to put in my microphone/DI kit, but I'm not sure about the sound quality, especially for only $60.
Ideally, this would be less than $300, but I could probably spend more if something good came up.
