I really don't understand
I wanted a DAC that supported 24bit 96khz just to adjust the volume of my speakers (m3-6), and the cheapest one was like 150 (some m-audio shit)
Instead the audio card Scarlett 2i2 costs 130 bucks and supports balanced output at 24bit and 192khz and offers even more features as a recorder
So what the fuck is wrong with the dac market?
They can't just make something simple for adjusting volume?

the dac dosent do the volume you are talking about a dac pre amp
>>56116501
you want a preamp or a simple volume knob you fucking moron

>Scarlet 2i2
>As a DAC
Lol
And there are many different ways of changing volume, are you seriously that retarded?
And DACs are expensive because people have money and are willing to pay for better sound reproduction.

Fucking retard
Funnily enough I'm also looking for a DAC OP. It has to be able to sample 10 or 16 bit words at 4 and 2 Msamples/sec respectively, while not consuming that much energy, because I actually need 14 of them to run off a 140W power supply with a bunch of other stuff.
Know any good brands? Also no electrolytic caps.
