DSD DAC's - Any recommendations?


Hi All,

Looking out for a new DAC to support DSD,DXD preferably DSD64 - DSD256 before I give my current (long serving) DAC to a friend.

Just wondering if anyone has one current that could possibly share their opinions or know if there are any out there without going too expensive.

Thanks.

Zd, I do appreciate the clarification. I had not thought of the timing issue. I stand corrected.
Hey guys,

Thanks for the recommendations! I've made up my mind, I'm going to invest in a iDSD Nano and see how that goes. Should be here shortly will let you know how I get on :-)

Thanks again guys!
Hello Gz,
I apologize for recommending something above price range. I am not familiar with the DACs he mentioned and was not aware of their price nor what the OP considers too expensive as it was not stated. Even with those DACs as a frame of reference, there is not a mention what price he feels is too expensive. I myself have tried less expensive pieces first before buying something what my budget could fully afford. When the Ayre was mentioned the poster did not address it as being "too expensive". If he had, I would not have posted. The Vega is in that same price range and purchased mine after owning the NAD M51 and trying out several others that were several thousand dollars more and feel like it offers a good value.

Draenor,
Good luck with the iDSD! Can't wait to hear your impressions.

Regards,
Andy
