I have to disagree I think older Dacs can sound just fine and even really good. Older multibit chips seem all the rage and not much in the way of advances in power supplies or analog output stages so what really improved in the last 10 years? My Dac was built in 1995 and sounds fantastic.
Battle of the Older DAC
Would this be a simple choice for you?
Looking at upgrading my DAC and at similar price points have options of an Auralic Vega (2013) and a Schiit Yggdrasil OG A2 (2018?)
I have heard the Auralic and it is impressive, but the reputation of the Yggy looks solid.
Would be keen to hear from anyone who has experience of both or if the choice is clearer that it appears to me.
As ever, would love to hear your thoughts.
