@dmance Would a fibre optic cable from the network switch into the DAC solve the analog noise into the DAC? If so that is a relatively cheap solution. For example Sonore SystemOptique or the more expensive Lumin X1 DAC (
$13K ) with fibre optic input. Both have ROON READY support.
Higher End DACs
I am looking for a DAC (potentially streamer&DAC) to be paired in a mcintosh system (c1100/611). Its my first foray into digital streaming and I have no need for a CD player.
I see a lot of love for Esoteric, however, most seems to be around their transports? Are they not as renowned for pure digital streaming and/or standalone DACs? I see DCS (for instance) often referenced for standalone DACs - how does Esoteric compare?

the Lumin X1 and the new Linn Klimax DSM DAC both take a Fibre Optic cable as a streaming input. New Linn Klimax DSM With Organik DAC - Bits and Bytes - Audiophile Style Anybody on this thread have a listen to the new Gustard X26 Pro DAC. I own one and think it is great DAC using a Sonore OpticalRendu for streaming. I am not looking to change it but was curious as to how it compares to more expensive DACs. |
