I don't know .......I have a 12 year mytek dac I run my TV and streamer through. I disconnected the streamer as Youtube sounded just as good to me (use it like a radio). I have an Ayre CD SACD and DVD player (20 years old) sounds pretty good. In my other system I have a Wadia 921/922 with an Esoteric transport. (I've never heard digital better than this) admittedly I will play vinyl most of the time. That t said without the full commitment to the vinyl playback hobby, I think digital is a terrific alternative. I don't own any modern DACS. I'm generally satisfied with what I have. I haven't heard any streaming setups that got my attention yet. That needs be be addressed if anything can compete with what I currently have.
Is there any such thing as a bad sounding DAC these days?
I think the problem of DAC for quality audio has been pretty much universally solved. Not to say all DACs are equal, they aren’t, but do any that really matter these days not sound “good”?
