Holographic DAC With Air And Decay


Like the title says what’s your vote for favorite Dac when it comes air, decay and three dimensional soundstage?  Looking at 3k or less used. I tend to prefer R2R and, or tubes.  I suppose I'm open to other options as long as it sounds smooth and refined. As always I look forward to all your input, thanks!

The Gustard X30 was just announced in June and became available on the market this August. While I haven’t heard it myself, it has received top ratings for soundstage size, to the best of my knowledge. I just wanted to bring it to your attention.

@sls883 @fanofmsu I'm curious myself, particularly about how the Cyan 2 stacks up against the X30. Given the big price disparity, I would assume the X30 could easily outclass the Cyan 2. However, if the sound quality improvement isn't significant, the Cyan 2 might still be a solid choice.
