The Border Patrol you are looking at is a good bet. Whether with a tube based system it will go too mellow I can't say, but it would certainly not present any 'bright' audio issues. I have tinnitus, and hyperacusis in the top end (hyperacusis is a sensitivity to loud noise in a frequency, and to me it is in the treble wnd of things - for example a live piano is intolerable to me if I stand nearby). So I appreciate a system with no aggression in that top end and no exactly what you mean.
DAC Question: Delta-Sigma vs R2R
I have a general question, I am looking to buy my first standalone DAC, right now I have an Azur 851N, which is a streamer/DAC. As I look I continue to see discussions on Delta-Sigma vs R2R DACs.
I am in no way an audio expert nor do I have a good understanding of electronics.
In Laymen terms, Could anybody explain what is the difference between the 2 technologies?
