Add a Teddy Pardo power supply and a fine power cord and I bet you find what you’re searching for. I swapped out the switch PS on my RME and it made a world of a difference. The RME on its own was very good, but with the Teddy it is much better.
Pro DACs vs Consumer DACs
Has anybody had the experience of comparing pro DACs such as the Burl B2 or the Cranesong Solaris to similarly priced consumer DACs? I have a Chord Qutest which I really like but I'm just curious what else is out there. I tried an MHDT Pagoda that was very euphonic but too colored for my taste. Wondering if I can get a little smoother of a sound without sacrificing detail and separation. Thanks
