I will toss another dac in there the Benchmark DAC3 ( various models some with volume control) which is a very neutral dac that doesn't add to the music. I have one and run an inexpensive NAD CD player and streamer through it to my McIntosh integrated. You have tube components so I though I would mention this dac as it let's the sound of your tubes do the coloration you're after not the dac. It's why I like very neutral dacs. Benchmark has also been making professional gear for years. I am in my 60's too and streaming isn't really hard to figure out or use.
Looking to get the best out of Redbook Cd listening with Dac a d Transport under 5K?
Hi guys! Ex Audiophile out of touch for many years now! Looking to purchase Dac and Transport to listen to my large Cd collection! Not sure where to go! Thanks Larry
