100% USA designed & made DAC


I am curious as to what besides Bricasti is a "good" designed and made in America DAC. I am aware of PS Audio as well. It seems like all the accolades are for either Eastern European of far Eastern pieces. Thanks, Allen

backwash

 

@rsf507 Sorry have to disagree regarding Schitt, it is just ok but compared to many others it is very flat and 2 dimensional sounding IMO. 

@barts  My experience as well.  "very flat" it never caused me to become "part of the music" just my 2 cents, but that's it.

I have been thru several DAC brands and finally settle down with Schiit Modius as the DAC for my second system.  I do not experience "very flat" SS.  In fact, Modius preserves spatial information quite well when the recordings have it, as mentioned in several thrustworthy reviewers.  The SS may not be as wide way passing speakers but, within the SS, it pinpoints the instrument / vocal well and has a reasonable depth.  The BF2 is a step up model and it just does not make sense for its SS being "very flat".  I know it is kinda subjective but why don't you educate the Audiogoners here what "many others" DACs in similar price points out there are better choices?

 

I probably should have stated that I am currently using a Lumin T2 streaming DAC and am interested  in an obviously better sounding option. Not something I have to strain to decide if I like it better, thanks for all the comments, Allen.
