I was wondering if someone could point me in the direction of a good/great DA converter which will be significantly better than the one I have in my O1v. It's something about it that doesn't excite me too well. As far as price goes, I'm willing to spend no more than $1500 unless it won't become extinct anytime soon(1-2 yrs). Any help will be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance

Isn't the Rosetta also a dedicated d/a converter?

Yeah, I'd give it the RNC award in the converter category. When Bob Katz replaced his custom D/A with this $400 unit, a lot of folks wanted to try them out, but they were tough to locate. I was surprised to find they'd made it into circulation again, they may be discontinued by the looks of the Entech site.
I haven't heard the Lucid. It's got AES in and balanced outs I think, which makes it a better fit for a lot of studios monitoring set-ups. I switched to an unbalanced monitor chain years ago, so that's a non-factor for me. HTH
