Electro, I've seen an ECD1 for sale at £1100... is that a good price for the Electro DAC and do you think it's waste for just playing Spotify through Sonos?
I've also seen a PS Audio Digital Link 3 going for a reasonable price, but know nothing about the brand.

Hi Mac ,
£1100 seems a touch on the expensive side unless it is ex demo or new old stock with a warranty .
They normaly sell for between £500 and £750 second hand .
Are you sure it is not the newer ECD 2 model, if it is then £1100 is a very fair price .

I would say it is definitely worth using the ECD I for spotify, mine sounds absolutely fantastic using an ipad digital out via a Cambridge audio id 100 dock to the ECD 1 DAC .
The Electrocompaniet ECD1 dac has been the companies best selling product and was on constant back order it's whole lifetime as they could not keep up with the massive demand .
The ECD2 is supposed to be equaly good but with more features.
PS audio has a good reputation but I have not heard any of their products .
