The Cary DMS 700 should be on your list. Down the road, if you're inclined to upgrade the DAC as technology improves, you can use the DMS 700 as a streamer. They're offering it on sale right now at their lowest price ever.
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

@rkfaberdds Just be aware that those brands you listed are sold through dealers with their markups. Cary is direct to consumer, and you can audition in your room for 30 days. I would suggest watching hifishark. Several available of those you mentioned. |
