A DAC that can make digital sound analog?

Hi All,

I have a ModWright Oppo 105D. It’s excellent....but it sure don’t sound like vinyl or tape.

What DACs have you heard that really work like magic on digital audio files? 

I am interested in DACs that kill that digital glare/blare, that gives you that sense of ‘blackness’ or ‘darkness’ to the audio soundscape, really letting you hear into the mix...ya know that layering, space and depth that is very evident on tape.

Very curious to hear your thoughts.

Thanks!

 Is sublime when listening to  Tidal Masters!
The analog section of the preamplifier is also world-class in my opinion.
This is by far the best unit I have ever owned or used.  Have ever heard is the Mouradian 818 version three  this is a full function preamplifier/control hub. The MQA DAC Is sublime when listening to I screwed up my first post. The best DAC IHave ever heard is the Mouradian 818 version three

I highly recommend the Sparkler Audio S504 "Unison" DAC. For those unfamiliar with Sparker, the brand is founded by Mr. Tsukahara, the former electrical engineer of Sakura Systems and the man behind the 47 Treasure series.

I've had numerous DACs in my system, from DIY efforts like the Twisted Pear Buffalo to products of renowned brands like the Weiss DAC2. None of them made music sound so effortless and coherent like the S504.
