Thanks for all the replies, much appreciated.
oldrooney. Can I ask if you have used both the balanced and the rca outputs and if you hear any difference in quality between the two?
I like that it has 2 rca outputs (not something you see normally) makes it easy to connect a headphone amp.
My Primare Dac30 is a clean sounding dac with okey resolution and a firm bass, but I think it could be improved upon, I don’t want a too warm sounding dac as I run tube pre and a class A amp that was designed to sound more like a tube amp, so it could get to muddy I think very fast, my LS 5/9 are monitor speakers with the famous bbc bump, but otherwise a very neutral speaker.
Also that the Schiit can be upgraded later on is appealing.
Would be nice if I could demo the r26, Pontus and Less Is More side by side, but unfortunately that is not possible.
If anyone else has heard some of these dac’s, feel free to comment.
