Help me pick a Dac


Budget 4000

I currently have the latest version of the Bluesound Node and a PS Audio Stellar Gaincell Dac for the digital Frontend. I stream qobuz and flac from a networked drive.
The rest of system is a Backert Lab Rhumba 1.3 , Schiit aiger monos and Zu soul 6 speakers. Also have a Nottingham horizon turntable, Hana cart and Lehman Cube phono pre. I think the modest tt sounds more natural and holographic compared to my digital frontend so I think I can do better.
Also I’m pretty isolated as far as audio goes so I’ve only heard my own system and likely will have buy without an audition.

Thank you for the correction!  My mistake.  I had the Lumin T2 and loved it but the T3 is even better!

Look at Lumin products.  I have owned 2 of them and very pleased.  There is a used T2 streamer/dac for sale on Audiogon and USAudiomart for $2.6K.  This is their latest model and is probably over $4.0K new.  

 

Good luck and let us know how you make out!
