I have had Oppo 105 and Oppo 205 used as DACs. Also Had Wyred DAC2 v2. Better than all of those is the Matrix Audio X-Sabre https://matrix-digi.com/en/products/318.html They are good enough for a friend's TAD References. Although an apples vs oranges comparison they are a better product than my magicos.
Best DAC for around $2,500 or less
What are your opinions on the best DAC for under $2,500? Looking at the Schiit Yggy or many of recommend Denafrips so looking at their Pontus. Any thoughts on how these two compare? It might be misguided by I tend to think your getting a little more for your money with a direct to consumer company like Schiit and I know they are highly regarded for their DACS. Anything else to look at in this price range?
