If you are looking in the $4K range, suggest checking out the Holo Audio May DAC. Cost $4,200+ new depending on the build you choose. End game for some.
Have you heard LTA Aero, Lab12 Reference, Denafrips Pontus 15th?
I'm looking at these DACs. I recognize that ultimately I'm gonna have to follow my ears and hear them, but I'm wondering if anyone has heard more than 1 of them and had any insights on comparison and contrast, value, build, etc.
Thank you!
