Looking for a new DAC


 

Looking for dac recommendations

I have been slowly doing major upgrades to my system and now it’s time for a better dac.

Current system

Modwright KWH 225i integrated

Magnepan 3.7i speakers

Rotel RCD-1572 cd player

Will not be upgrading these anytime soon

 

Need upgrading

Schiit Modius dac

WiiM Ultra streamer (considering the Aurender N200)

Looking for a dac that will complement the Modwright and Magnepans.

 

Below is a few suggestions I have received but not sure how they will sound with my system.

T+A DAC 200

Gold Note DS-10 EVO

Laiv Harmony

Weiss DAC 204

If you have an audio dealer near you, go down there and see if you can figure out your sound profile a little better. 

Take your time and do your research on dacs check out the forums with people with similar setups and what they say. 

You got to add budget in here because you can spend anywhere from 2K to 40K. 

You're going to get some great advice here and a few good recommendations already. I'd also like to add the Mola Mola to the list, as I think it's a really good sounding deck, that has a great sound stage and profile that meets many listeners and has a warm lush sound that works for many of its owners. 

I also like the Holo Audio May KTE and Chord Dave. 

If you plan on spending more than 15K then that opens up the door to a whole bunch of other options.
