Acurus act3

I'm new to DACs and came across an Acurus Act3. Would this be any good for listening to streaming music in two channel stereo? Thanks for any advice

I'm a bit skeptical that a 20 year old gear designed for primarily HT duty is going to impress compared with today's music DACs, but it will work, it may even sound good, depending on your definition of "good" of course. If the plan is to use computer as source it needs to have a SPDIF output, otherwise you'll need to get one of those USB/SPDIF convertes, and good ones can be pricey.

Thanks for the advice, I was just intrigued by the original cost with it being a very nice unit when it hit the market.
