Need a DAC Recommendation.

Teac NT-505 or Topping D90 or SMSL400

Surprised no one mentions a Border Patrol. The lowest tier model is @ $1075. It's an R2R dac based on a Philips chip with either USB or coax @ the price. I own one and it sounds great.

Save your money and get a used ps audio DS jr dac, it will blow these mentioned dacs away in sq and in features. For example: do the other dacs above have an Ethernet connection? Fpga based? I2s input? (I2s and Ethernet are the best inputs to use on a dac), free firmware upstages that provide new features and sounds better, MQA support, up samples to dsd? Most of these other dacs mentioned above don’t provide even 1 of these features let alone all of them. You can get a used jr for around $2400

The rme adi-2 dac is tough to beat at it’s price point.
