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”?

I had a Bryston BDA-3, a great sounding DAC in my system. LUMIN U-1 streamer with upgraded power supply. Can not be beat for dollar value. Good luck finding one on the preowned market. I rate some equipment by looking for it on the preowned market. If it’s hard to find, there must be a reason why.

I now have an Aqua LaScala DAC. Wanted to get into the tube side of the hobby.

Would like to edit my post. Just checked on the preowned market and found several BDA-3’s for sale. Try it you’ll like it.
