I’ve had the PS DSD and Chord Qutest and they are both great in providing a very detailed SQ. But if you are looking for a more vinyl sound take a look at the Border Patrol SEi DAC. I was surprised how close it sounded to my Primaluna Tube amp when hooked up to my Esoteric amp. It is only around $1400 and is quite unique in that it has No Oversampling with a tube power stage. Only plays files up to 24/96kHz but I really don’t noticed a major difference compared to higher res music.
PS auido Direct stream Dac
Hi I am looking to buy a Dac, now i have Cambridge Audio 851N network player.I am looking at the PS audio Direct Stream Dac with the Bridge 11 and the Holo Audio May Dac KTE, I have a cd player ,but not many cds so most of the time it would used to stream Qobuz ,I also have a nice vinyl set up which i use about 1/2 the time. My ? does anyone have heard both of these dacs ,if so which sounds most like vinyl, I am 64 so I am trying to decide if these are worth the $ or should i just stick with the CA 851N ,any opinions will help .Thanks Lloyd
