Congrats on the DAC8! T&A makes great stuff and I’m sure you’ll be thrilled with the sound.
DAC to pair with Baetis Prodigy X3 Server
I am rebuilding may main stereo system and focusing on streaming and a DAC at the moment. I have decided on a Baetis server streamer and would like to get a compatible DAC. I am looking at either a used T+A DAC 8 or a new DAC200. I use Tidal for streaming and will rip CD’s. Mainly listen to jazz.but eclectic tastes otherwise.
Speakers are revealing and the amp has a wonderful smooth delivery which helps to balance speakers, would like a DAC on the warm side but also like the detail I get from my Hugo 2.
open to suggestions…budget for streamer + DAC $15k CDN max

Here are a couple others to consider… https://www.ebay.com/itm/325325268933 You might look into R2R non-oversampling DACs as they tend to have detailed but a more “analog” sound as there’s a lot less digital processing going on although the T&A DAC is obviously excellent as well. Look into an Innuos Zen or Zenith streamer/server as well — their Sense app is free and gets great reviews and is continuously being upgraded with better sound at each new iteration. Also, I hear Qobuz is finally coming to Our Home and Native Land, and I’d highly recommend you do a free trial if/when available. Best of luck in your search. |
