A moderate priced dac


I borrowed a musical fidelity tri vista 21 dac from a friend and I was very impressed with the sound compared to my parasound p5 pre. This dac is over 10 years old. Has the technology changed enough that a moderately price dac can compete?Any suggestions?

Buy the MF DAC and send it to me for upgrades.  Nothing listed above will compete once I get my hands on it!

Happy Listening.

@audiomaze if your question is directed at me, I was speaking of the tri vista dac.  The v90 is a $300 dac that I would probably not attempt to work on.  Parts cost would probably be more that the dac cost!

In general there are a few standard options to upgrading any component.  Power supply capacitors, signal path capacitors, resistors in key areas and AC filter choke.  After that convert to point-to-point wiring, etc.
