Best Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC)?

A digital-to-analog converter (or DAC) can be a great way to boost the audio from your computer or home stereo. We've shown you how to choose the right DAC, and many of you mentioned your own favorite units when we did. This week, we want to hear from you, audio enthusiasts: which DAC is the best for the money?

Granted, a DAC is definitely niche hardware, but enough of you commented and shares your favorite models that we want to hear your nominations for the best. Don't just blow it out of the park and get the most expensive?remember, expensive isn't always the best: take everything into consideration: price, audio quality, build quality, availability, the works. Then, let us know which model is your pick in the discussions below!

Hive Five nominations take place in the discussions, where you post your favorite tool for the job. We get hundreds of nominations, so to make your nomination clear, please include it at the top of your post like so: VOTE: BEST DAC. Please don't include your vote in a reply to another person. Nominations emailed to us will not be counted. Instead, make your vote and reply separate discussions. After you've made your nomination, let us know what makes it stand out from the competition.

About the Hive Five: The Hive Five feature series asks readers to answer the most frequently asked question we get: "Which tool is the best?" Once a week we'll put out a call for contenders looking for the best solution to a certain problem, then YOU tell us your favorite tools to get the job done. Every weekend, we'll report back with the top five recommendations and give you a chance to vote on which is best. For an example, check out last week's five best mind mapping tools.

The Hive Five is based on reader nominations. As with most Hive Five posts, if your favorite was left out, it's not because we hate it?it's because it didn't get the nominations required in the call for contenders post to make the top five. We understand it's a bit of a popularity contest, but if you have a favorite, we want to hear about it. Have a suggestion for the Hive Five? Send us an email at tips+hivefive@lifehacker.com!
