Go to Audio Science Review (ASR) and read the reviews and tests of different DAC's. Truth is revealed by measurements. Not by "My golden ears tell me it is so."
Are the Chord dacs still top tier being they are 10 years old now?
I was lookin at the Chord Dac Dave. I noticed it's around 10 years old now. I was talking to this one person and he said that there are dacs that sound just as good or better because they use more recent technology. Like Moon or a MSB discrete DAC would be better.
Has Chord remotely updated the Dave Dac through software to stay ahead of other Dacs that use more recent tech? I am confused how a 10 year old dac could still be better than it's more recent competitors?
All this being with a quality streamer of course for apples to apples.
