I stopped thinking about DACs once I heard and subsequently bought a Bricasti M1
Best DAC for over 2000
I recently purchased a PS Audio DSD Directstream DAC. I had the Perfectwave DAC and found it to be very good but the DSD DAC was just phenomenal by comparison. With the upgrade deal I paid 4000 for the DSD DAC (6K new) but now I am wondering if I should also pay to keep and upgrade my Perfectwave for another 3K or just look for another DAC. I have 2 different music rooms and could use 2 DACs. Is there anything out there that compares?

If you only intend to listen to Redbook (pcm) with this dac,, then the Schitt Yggdrasil (bit perfect R2R Multibit) the best way to convert Redbook (pcm) forget dsd dacs. And it comes with a 15 day money back trial. http://schiit.com/products/yggdrasil Cheers George |
I suggest
you look at the Prism Sound Callia DAC. I heard the Callia DAC at the
T.H.E. Show and liked it very much. I enjoyed its sound quality and its
functionality. The Callia DAC is fully
balanced and includes USB, optical and coaxial inputs. It also has XLR
outputs for connecting to a balanced amplifier. The Callia DAC also has a
volume control for going direct to a power amplifier and a 2nd volume control
for a headphone. A dip switch at the back of the DAC enables you to de-activate the volume control, if needed. Please see:
http://www.prismsound.com/hifi/products_subs/dac1/dac1_home.php http://www.prismsound.com/hifi/products_subs/dac1/dac1_spec.php I was very impressed its musical sound quality and also the people from Prism Sound. I ordered the Prism Sound Callia DAC and it is expected in three weeks (estimated). I wanted a DAC from a strong, experienced company that would support me and their products. Of course, the main thing is the DAC had to sound excellent and have the input connections I needed. These are some of the reasons why I purchased the Prism Sound Callia DAC. |
