*DAC

I am down to the last piece of the puzzle. I am very happy with the sound of my system at this point, so I’m not sure if the DAC needs to be improved on. What I am looking for is to hear those background subtleties in the music a little more pronounced. The strum of a guitar, the stroke of the piano keys, the clicks, ticks & tingles that accompany the music. I do here that now, I just wondered if there is a way to elaborate on those background sounds (details) a bit more.

Is it the DAC that will make this happen? If it is, they say my Gustard R26 is as good as a $5K DAC, how far over that $5K do you think I have to go?

Thank you for your help and suggestions and the best to you all over the holiday season and beyond!

PS: I listen mostly to Jazz

The Gustard is not even close to any quality even $3k dac 

I owned the 26 with upgraded power cord and synergistic purple fuse ,

look up the T+A 200 dac- preamp 

it is around $7k less with discounts ,in our audio get together I have heard most Everythjng out there, I am purchasing this dac, I own a Denafrips Terminator2 

which is about $4600 and is night and day better then the Gustard on Every level 

very realistic sounding, the T+A 200 dac takes it to another level still 

it competes or beats with Any dac up to $15k  .see some you tube reviews then get 

a Demo this would be your Reference end game dac .
