What about Aqua La Voce S3? Runs close to the top of your budget, but has been reviewed as hitting well above its price. It’s seems to be a discrete dac with something special. I’ve never heard it, but others I know have and say it’s pretty exquisite.
New DACs High End Munich 2023
I am now searching for a new DAC to replace my Oppo UDP-205 and High End Munich 2023 was the event I was waiting for to hear about new announcements.
I know that Auralic and Total DAC have introduced new DACs and Primare has new modules. Anyone hear any other DACs being released in the next 2-3 months?
