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.

(Some of these prices are certainly not correct)

@chorus - This really isn’t much to go on in terms of what you’re looking for or what qualities you value most in DAC/system performance, and it’s why you’re getting recommendations from all over the place and with no explanation as to why a certain DAC would be a good fit for you. If you’re after a total crapshoot of recommendations I guess this is fine, but if you want recommendations more targeted to what specifically you’re looking for it’d be helpful if you’d share more about about your tastes and what you’re looking to improve upon or achieve. Also, if you share what you think of the Tubadour it’ll also help people focus their recommendations. FWIW.
