Anything by Benchmark. I run their original dac 1 fed by an Oppo 103 and it sounds great. They got their start in professional studios so the sound is very transparent, if that is what your looking for. Also, great value.
Best route to go for new dac?
Hello. I am looking for a better dac. I am currently using My MacBook Pro with a dragon fly red. Audioquest golden gate 3.5mm to RCA to McIntosh Ma 252. audio quest type 4 to Revel Perfoma3 F206 Speaks and SVS SB3000 sub. The sub has Audioquest Black lab IC. I have around 1000 bucks. Best route to go? I mainly use Tidal. Thank you!
