My point of reference is limited since I have not owned many DACs, but as a recent owner of a Pontus II DAC connected to a Lumin U1, I am very satisfied. This seems to also be the take from this reviewer on hifi-advice.
Better R2R DAC Recommendation?
I’m new to digital after being vinyl only forever and am enjoying my Denafrips Ares 2 streamed from a Project Streambox S2 Ultra using Audirvana. Of course since I’m enjoying it, I need something even better... it’s a hobby after all.
I’d like to spend no more than $2k on the used market. Anyone have a favorite R2R?
