I am using plain wire from the headphone jack to the inputs of my vintage 70s receivers but I want to upgrade that to a DAC say in the $100-300 price range is there any go to DACs I am kinda the best bang for the buck guy.

Add Meridian Explorer - $200 (street price) to obtain MQA compatibility and Schiit Modi Multibit - $249 for a very nice step up.

It's a great time to be in the market for low cost DAC's.

That's cool!
I had a chance to see Minick run the car at a local track here in Michigan and a national in Columbus.
Probably why my hearing is so bad.
Burnt rbber and nitro fumes.... I remember that very well.
Oh, and watching Jungle Pam packing a parachute made a big impression. Some very heady days!

Any interest in the "Silver face" Pioneer amps?

It is sure nice to know people from my generation with fond memories! Yea Jungle Pam made me think wow thats what a chick should look like-couldnt wait to grow up! I was only 10 years old at the time. Those drag racing memories are still with me  and always will be. I dont know if you remember Bob Pickett but a friend and myself had a front row seat at the finish line at OCIR in 1970 when his yellow javelin took off like a airplane through the lights-some say at least 60 ft we were at the finish line as close to the track as we could and I witnessed the whole thing happen before my eyes. just to name a few. I still like drag racing but today its all about the money and its just not the same anymore.
