Looking for a DAC to pair w/ Jay's transport mk2


I've been posting some general questions on several threads recently. I've received lots of good opinions and advice. I have a concluded that my DAC needs a boost to catch up with my system.I have an Aesthetix, Mimas integrated amp with their $1,200 DAC board.I'd to warm things up and might even consider a tube DAC. Budget $2-3K. I'm fine with used gear.

The Denafrips Pontus 15 has my attention...

@tyray   If you send Brad the pinout for your DAC he will design it accordingly. That’s what I did. It’s in their Denafrips online manual. Mine is done and ships Tuesday. I will be selling my Tubulus Argentus.

@fthompson251, thank you for the quick response. I’ve decided to go with the Denafrips Pontus 15th dac over the Laiv Harmony DAC and sent Brad the Denafrips Pontus 15th dac manual’s pinout specs.

I just heard the Aero Linear Tube DAC at a fellow friend from my area. Very smooth clear sounding DAC. Take a look and demo one.
