Neutral Dac?

In the past year there have been several extremely positive reviews on the Topping D90 SE/LE and Gustard X26 PRO DACS. All reviewers stated emphatically either of these two DACs were as neutral an anything they have ever heard. Granted around here neither of them are expensive enough to be considered for anything other than a paper weight, but you might be surprised based upon what I’ve read.

FWIW, I've owned R2R Ladder DAC's and at least the ones I've had were anything but neutral. I grew tired of their presentation quickly because quite a bit of detail and imaging were left on the table. Its not a road I would want travel down again. 

@mofojo Holo Spring. Tried for 2 or 3 years to like the sound from this thing, but never did. Used every input available just didn't sound good. Have a friend who had the same experience with two of the Holo DAC's, and also one Denafrips. Each to their own I suppose but I'm done with R2R based upon those experiences.

Thanks

@jerryg123 no thanks, I’m done with R2R. Pretty case work though. 

@jerryg123 please understand I have not heard or personally experienced the Topping or Gustard DAC's mentioned earlier, just relaying what so many other reviewers have stated about those products being very neutral which is what the OP ask for. Not sure its a digital desert, but true I have owned many many digital components through the years and some from the most venerable companies in HiFi. 

Its also worth noting a great many of these once highly revered digital audio companies promising the holy grail no longer exist. Lot of road kill through the years with many esoteric and boutique companies. The days for me spending dozens of thousands of dollars to experiment are long over as well. The ad quote above is all too familiar. Regardless enjoy.

Time to get back to the OP's opening question, neutral DAC's.
