If you HAD to purchase a used (over 4 years old) DAC, what would it be?
There's some great prices, if you look hard enough on used DACS over 4 years old (previous versions of current models, etc). If you needed a DAC and HAD to choose a used one, what model would you buy?
The Schiit Bifrost 2/64 might not be old enough for your needs (!) but even bought new costs far less than a lot of stuff recommended here, and is great DAC crammed with useful features that is "future proof" as it's easily upgraded. Its proprietary "Nexus" input I use with a Schiit Urd CD transport sounds astonishingly good, and its sp/dif from my streamer is great sounding. Its sound is on a par with and even exceeds much of the otherwise overpriced stuff on the market.
Very specific... but a good plan. I have had a QB-9 for about ten or more years... it always sounded good... I had it upgraded to the Twenty version... a great DAC, better performing than any Schiit.
