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

Since you mentioned that you may upgrade your streamer I should share this.  I was auditioning streamers to put upstream of my Holo May DAC.  I narrowed the search to Aurender and Innuos.  They were both excellent in their own ways but what came out of the May DAC was a VERY different sound signature between the two streamers.  My experience was that the streamer will affect the sound signature of the DAC much more than one might think!  Good luck and cheers.
