This seems like a very educated list. What did you end up buying and do you still have it? I have a Pagoda single ended with Ericcson tube which has a lovely warmth, good soundstage and separation. Sometimes I feel like I'm missing some sparkle on the top end, like the resolution is a limiting factor. I'm really considering trying a Pontus II.
Some DACs I am Considering-Any thoughts?
Soekris 2541 $1.1
Doge 7 $1.2
Mhdt Pagoda $1.4
Denafrips Pontus $1.8
Audio Mirror SE $2.5
Holo Audio Spring 2 $2.7
Audio Note 4.1 Kit $3.6
Lampizator Amber 3 $3.8
Anyone who can speak from experience about comparisons
between any two these?
I like the use of a tube and I like the R2R style of build.
Prefer to stay under $2.5 but might be swayed.
Thanks in advance for sharing.
