OP, not that it matters in the case of a dac, but how is your AR preamp feeding the Acoustats ? You must have an amp of some kind. BTW, I am considering a newer dac, as I just posted as well for some opinions, although more specific. Thank you, and Enjoy ! MrD.
Looking for my first DAC
I have mostly equipment from the eighties with the exception of an OPPO BDP-93. My Preamp is an ARC SP9-MKII and it's feeding some Acoustat model X's. I'm leaning toward a Schiit Bifrost Multibit Gen 5, with their 15 day trial period, so I can at listen to it and return if I don't like it. I have no way of listening to anything without a long drive and most probably a hotel stay, so I'm looking for your vast experience on the DAC's. Price range under $1000.
