Looking at your system, the DACs you are considering seem like overkill to me. I am not sure it would be worth such a large investment. Something like the Denafrips Ares would be a good fit for a lot less.
Denafrips Terminator 2 + Hermes DDC vs T+A DAC 200
Hello,
does anyone know how these two combinations in the title compare?
I heard that the T+A DAC 200 is a bit superior over the Terminator 2, but how does the T2 compare with the Hermes DDC against the T+A?
Is the T+A still in competition?
Further I would like to know if the Hermes DDC makes a huge difference with the I2S option over the USB directly into streamer option.
Right now I can buy the Terminator 2 for 3.500€ and the T+A DAC 200 for 4.000€. What would you suggest to buy? Should I buy the Terminator 2 and wait for a Hermes DDC to appear?
My System is 2x Braun PA4; Braun CC4; Braun M15 and a Rasperry Pi 4 with Volumio integrated Streamer.
Thanks for your help in advance!
