Which dac is better?

[xyron]

Hi! I'm getting a dac to connect it to my amp via spdif. I found 2 simmilar but I'm not sure if the more expensive one is worth the money. What do you think? If you know of a better one with simmilar price even better Thanks

Buying a dac to connect to an amp via digital connection will not achieve anything. You might as well donate money to a good cause.

Since neither of the amps the OP mentions have a digital output, that's clearly not what he/she is intending.

If the OP wants to connect a digital source to an amp without digital inputs, then either of those units will do the job, although without having used or heard either I couldn't comment on the quality available.

The first linked has the advantage of a built-in headphone amplifier with a volume control, so whether or not that is best for the OP is really a matter of requirements.

Apologies OP, my comment wasn't very helpful
