Rega DAC vs Micromega MyDAC


Has anyone compared these DACs? I have been sitting on the digital sidelines using the Mydac experimenting with computer audio trying to understand what works for me. I have decided I don't want a computer audio setup and don't really care about the hi-rez format. Vinyl is my primary source and I don't want to invest much down the digital path. I have a Rega Osiris amp and wonder if the Rega DAC would be an improvement over the MyDAC? I would be playing mainly CDs through a transport.

Long term I would like to add a simple streamer that I can attach a external hard drive to and run from a tablet. That way I can organize and backup the files on my desktop. Any reasonable priced products out there that would do it? Alot of them seem to be packaged with hard drives and DACs, I just want a streaming device that will read the hard drive and feed a simple DAC.

REGA .... all stop, IMO.

I have the REGA ISIS valve cdp and the OSIRIS integrated.
There is that "je ne sais quoi" REGA synergy in all REGA components.

Just as an "FYI" the ISIS has a USB input for playing all your ripped files through its own hi-end internal DAC with full functionality through its remote.

The REGA standalone DAC you are asking about is fine kit on its own; but using the ISIS (particularly with the synergy with the OSIRIS) is the next big step up

There are a couple floating out there used.

Highly recommended.
