I've heard the Cord, and demoed the Holo May both sounded analytical and thin to me. Settled on the Aqua LaScala MKII Optologic R2R tube DAC. It added more depth, body to the music with plenty of detail. Happy hunting.
DAC experiences?
Hi guys,
thanks for all your great advice so far. I come to you with DAC questions. I’m interested to hear your opinions on the Chord Qutest vs PS Audio DirectStream Mk2 vs Chord Dave.
I know they all sit at different price points, but I have a few options at good used prices and I would love to hear insights and experiences on these DACS, their sound, and living with them day to day.
I’ll be using Nova III floorstanders, Luxman 509z integrated, and for now a Node Icon N530 as transport but with a view to upgrade streamer.
