It depends on your budget but for pure delta sigma dac go with (as someone recommended) rme adi-2 (be sure is the Rev 2),if you can stretch some more holo audio spring 2 is an excellent R2R ladder dac
Best DAC
Hey community,
Current system:
ARC SP-6
Threshold S500
Magneplanar 1.6
I love the tube sound of the SP-6, and think it pairs great with the power/clarity of the S500 and 1.6 speakers. Currently using the DACMagic to play audio from my computer, and I believe it may be the limiting factor in my system. What DACs would be a significant upgrade? What’s the best at the moment?
I’m comfortable spending up to $2-3k for a significant improvement. Let me know if higher/lower priced DACs would be more suitable.
I appreciate your insight.
