I have always been impressed with the Bel Canto DAC 1...about $500 used...good luck
Best $1500 DAC: Recent or Past
I am very familiar with the "old" classics like the Levinson 36 or Theta GENV. How do they stack up to the new DACS or upsampling DACS in the $1500 range, new or used? Any advice is appreciated, especially from those familiar with the characterists of the past late 90's era "A" rated DACS.
