DAC Recommendations In 4k Range Used


I've been enjoying my Yiggy with the Aurender n100h and will eventually upgrade. Looking for something in the $4k range used. I have no use for a preamp as I go to my Luxman 509X though it wouldn't be a deal breaker. I listen to classical and acoustic jazz mostly followed by all the other genres .Should I save up for the T+A DAC 200 that you folks praise?  Qobuz and radio are my sources.I appreciate your input as usual. Thanks.

Take a look at the Bricasti M3 it has a retail of 7k but can be found for 4k used. It's musical, clean sounding, full bodied with great detail and non fatiguing.

Denafrips Terminator or Holo May, but T+A DAC 200 and Lampizator Baltic 4 (tube) both sonics punch significantly above their price points. 

Merason DAC 1 Converter Can be upgraded to Merason DAC mk2
Price is over 4000$ .

I do not know , what ´´ Converter ´´ means though.

 

I would save up for the  T+A DAC 200. Fortunately it is a DAC and preamp. Whilw]e technically you may not need one…. You need one. The T&A is a good one.
