What is the rest of your gear? What other DACs you have heard that you like? Do you have a software preference? The items you have listed are good but I would never put Meitner and Lumin in the same system. They sound VERY different. Need to know the rest of your gear or this could be a very wrong suggestion.
Comparing streamer/DACs between $5-10k
I’m looking for a DAC/Streamer single unit, willing to spend up to $7-8k & not opposed to something like a recent model/demo/open box unit. The only streamer/DAC experience I’ve had so far with my gear connected is with an Aurender A200 on demo from a dealer. Said dealer says it’s the “benchmark” at this general price point. IDK, It sounds great, but what would I likely hear differently with the following units?
-Meitner MA3
-HiFi Rose 150b
-Lumin T3 or P1
-Bricasti
