Accuphase dac 60

 

New guy posting here, lurking for awhile. I have a new Accuphase e380 integrated and love it. Thinking of getting the dac 60 card that goes with it. Thoughts, opinions please. Right now I have a ps audio digital link iii dac that is still going strong. What can I expect from a new modern dac?

 

not sure if this is the correct place to post this. TIA…

from like the only YouTube video where a guy demoed both, you could tell the dac 50 was on the warmer side and the dac 60 was brighter.

not much out there on these dac’s.

True, AKM chips sound warmer, closer to tube.

"In my opinion, AKM is sonically superior to ESS"

agreed 100%, the best DAC I have is dual AK4499EQ design with class A discrete bal/unbal outputs

thanks, good to know. I wish I had the time, energy and money to try a bunch of dac’s, but I don’t.

just going to stick with the dac 60 when it gets back to me.

More to discover
