Having recently heard it, I was so impressed with it. This thing has more detail in redbook recordings than I have ever heard, period. It is the best redbook dac I have had in my rig. Unfortunately, it is only on loan as I don't have the $ to secure it currently. Too bad, it is worth every penny SMC asks for it. Of course, YMMV and this is only my opinion. Thank you.
SMc Audio Ultra DAC. Thoughts and Opinions?
Greetings fellow A'gon members.
Recently an SMc Audio Ultra DAC has become available here for sale. I've read the review an older SMc Audio Ultra DAC revision on 6moons.
I was wondering if members could share their thoughts on the SMc Audio Ultra DAC. Either if you own or owned it or have listened to it previously I'd like to know your thoughts (Positive or negative) on the music it makes.
What DACs does it compare too? Do you need high-end gear to get the most out of it?
The reason I ask is that even at the lowered asking price of $1500 the SMc Audio Ultra DAC represents a significant expenditure for me and will be the most expensive piece of audio equipment in my entire chain. (More to follow.)
