Contact Tommy at the Digital Amplifier Company and get some information about his DAC in the High Spec (HS) variant. He just discharged the Gen 2 and is taking exchange ins on the Gen 1 towards the Gen 2, and auctioning off the exchange Gen 1's at a profound markdown. Each exchanged Dac goes on his seat and is put through a large number of tests and raised to spec if necessary. I have a Gen 1 and have no compelling reason to move to the Gen 2 since I utilize tube outfit. The DAC is to a great degree melodic with heaps of detail. I trust each DAC accompanies a multi day no issue merchandise exchange. https://terrariumtvforpcwindows.com/showbox-mod-apk-download-install-ad-free/ https://terrariumtvforpcwindows.com/showbox-on-chromecast-setup-install-guide |
This may sound controversial but the answer to your question may depend on how you’re planning to use the DAC. Supposedly, if it’s intended to “enhance“ your Redbook CD playback, the Multibit options, even the cheaper Schiit Modi Multibit @ $250 could be a good option. If you’re planning to use it for streaming purposes, a non-Multibit/R2R DAC may be a better option. Same for SACD playback. That said, I doubt if the audible differences between the two DAC chip technologies in this price range will be significant. |
The Marantz HD-DAC1 is a nice full-featured DAC that you might be able to find used in your price range. I'm not sure why it doesn't get more attention than it does - I actually found it to perform slightly better than the SA-14s1 as a stand-alone DAC, and it's a third of the cost of the Reference SACD player. |
