I owned a Dodson 218 for many years and it is an excellent DAC. However, time has passed it by and I sold it for a W4S DAC2 and the improvement in all areas is enormous. This is the way I would go if I were looking for a new DAC.

Reimyo DAP777 or Dodson 218 ?
Hi,
Let me start by saying that I already own the Reimyo 777 dac. It is a nice DAC. Spicy and enjoyble with all kinds of music. I just have this itch to upgrade to something better without spending a lot more. So what am I looking for as an improvement ? Basically I feel Reimyo has a slightly cooked sound. It is also not very extended. Ideally I would like my next DAC to be more analog sounding. By analog I mean more natural tone and timbre, more dynamic and better PRAT.
I have read here on Audiogon that a TRL modded Sony has it all but I am not sure if it can be compared to the class of Reimyo (which I already have).
I have shortlisted Dodson 218 because I have read good things about them. Especially their ability to dissapear in a system. Has anyone heard these two DACs ?
I am open to any other suggestion in this regard.
