Old vs New Dacs - Best Bang for buck???
How much better are the newer Dacs compared to the better ones from years ago? Has anyone compared?
I am looking to replace my CD player(Esound - which sounds very good to my trained ears) with a DAC. Looking to stay under $500.
I have read that the older 20 bit DACs like Parasound 1100, Adcom 700, Sonic Frontiers and Assemblage Dacs which sell in the $200+ range compare to some current DACs upwards of $1K.
How would they compare to the current better dac like MF V-dac, PS Audio Link Dac, etc?
Thanks!
