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

Those Magneplanar 3.7i are superior spkrs (if they are 3 or more feet from front wall). They should be your standard to which you raise the level of the other component's. I have 2.7i. To complement them my source is PS Audio StellarGold DAC fed by a Jay's Audio CD2 Mk2Transport.  If you live in a high-rise consider a power conditioner or regenerator.  Good Luck with all the opinions.  -JAS
