Love my LAB 12 DAC 1 Ref. Bought new, traded a preamp toward it ,cost about $1600 out of pocket. One of my most musically satisfying components ever.
DAC Under $3000
I am considering the purchase of a new DAC. Budget is no more than $3000. I lean towards clear, detailed sound with good separation. In the past I have had PS Audio Stellar, Benchmark, and Merason Frerot. I thought all were good, but not necessarily "special". Suggestions please. Thanks!
