DAC suggestions?
Hello!
I’m looking for a new DAC suggestion for my 2.1 office room set up. The room is 12x11 ft with a 10 ft ceiling. The EverSolo DMP-A8 seems interesting. Currently, I have the following:
Rotel CD14 (Water 1m RCA cable)
Michi X3 (Audioquest Thunder 2m Power cable)
Rel T/9X (Rocket 88 3m Rel Sub cable)
Sonus Faber Sonetto V Walnut (William Tell Zero 12ft Speaker cable)
iMac, using Roon and Tidal (USB B 1.5m Carbon cable)
I listen to jazz and RnB mostly and prefer a warmer sound. I’m happy with my current setup but feel adding a DAC and digital streamer would be nice versus going through my iMac. Thank you so much for your time.
Yeah you really wanna get that iMac outta there. You can pick up a used Innuos Zen Mk3 for around $2k and here’s a nice Denafrips Pontus 15th DAC for $1695 that would make for a really nice combo within your budget… https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/650227829-denafrips-pontus-15th/ Personally i’m not at all a fan of combo DAC/streamers and certainly wouldn’t touch Eversolo as they have no customer service to speak of. Hope this helps, and best of luck. |
