Very interesting post! I am in the same boat, but I already went and bought the CEC TL2X. I love it. Now on to the DAC and I have narrowed it down to the audio logic, Audio note, Kora Hermes, Electro ECD-1, Chord 64. Have been leaning towards the audio logic. Let me know what u decide, at least leave an AL 2400 available for me!!
Audio Note, Audio Logic, Kora Hermes Dacs ?
I've decided to stay the separates route, so can anyone tell me some of the stronger/weaker points between say, the Audio Note 3.1 (sig)?, Audio Logic 2400, & Kora Hermes ? I'm looking for depth, bloom, weight, dynamics, easeful presentation. I will be considering a CEC TL-1X, or TL-2 for transport. I'm staying with a tubed dac either way, with my balanced Orchid digital cable.
Thanks
