My Audiolab 6000CDT is used with a Denafrips Pontus II and I’m extremely happy with this pairing. The Pontus is an R2R ladder DAC and has two modes: Oversampling and Non-Oversampling. I prefer NOS which produces a smoother, more natural sound where OS seems to have more detail. I paid $1750 but the price fluctuates based on the USD to Singapore exchange rate.
Seeking A New DAC - Recommendations
Ho All:
I am ready to purchase a new DAC within the next several weeks. Budget is approximately $2K, but less would be great.
My preferred sound could be described as detailed and clean. I find sound referred to as warm or analog sounds dull and muddled to me.
Transport being utilized is an Audiolab 6000.
Recommendations? Thanks in advance!
