I've been downloading quite a few albums from the likes of HD Tracks and playing them on my iPod Touch with the FLAC Player app. I realize the Touch has hardware limitations as to the bit rate it can output etc, but as the owner of a new iPad 3, I've been reading that with the help of a Camera Connection Kit from Apple when plugged into a DAC (Digitial Analog Converter), it's possible to output 24 bit music.

Has anyone done this?

What DACs are available in New Zealand? In the Auckland area? I've seen some on the Computer Lounge site, but they seem to only have the Firestone brand, which range from the reasonably priced to the quite expensive, and I haven't a clue whether they'd work or where I'd start.

Is it worth doing at all?

Any help appreciated.
