Meitner and dCS are both top choices. I would add to the list Muse Model Ten transport and Model 192 DAC with DB25 connection. Substantially less money than either Meitner or dCS and will hold their own against them both!
Anyone heard the new Theta Gen VIII ?
I'm looking for the "ultimate" Redbook CD playback.
I am intent on NOT using a pre-amp, so please limit comparisions to other DACs with "variable out".
Has anyone heard the Gen VIII? How does it compare to other DACs in this price range?
I once owned a Theta Miles CDP and thought it was one of the best sounding all-in-ones out there (currently own the A.A. Capitole 24/192)
Thanks to any & all!
