Sony UDA-1 Integrated/Dac/HD

Killer Little Integrated with DSD DAC and Hard Drive.
Computers are great sources for music except for one glaring problem: they don't sound very good. That's where a high-quality digital-to-analog converter, or DAC, will help by transforming your digital audio files into sweet-sounding music. Sony's UDA-1 does just that, with all kinds of formats, including high-resolution DSD and FLAC files. Better yet, it's also an integrated amplifier, so it can power your speakers and accept other sources like CD players, an iPod® or other portable device, and even a turntable with a preamp. The UDA-1's small footprint makes it a great fit for a high-performance desktop system alongside your computer and bookshelf speakers.
