I’m not familiar with one- combing those capabilities in one bad and doing it well would be a tall order indeed. The closest device I know of (since you stated R2R) would be from Bricasti Design- not sure of the gain/pre design. Retail on this starts at $16K new.

You mentioned a turn table- what pre will you be using with that? There’s a little more going on when combining these features into a single unit- basically a trade off in the approach to attenuation. Personally I’ve never cared for driving an amp from a dac but I’ve read many posts/threads where others have preferred doing so. In my experience it boils down to the level of sound quality and performance one could expect from a unit trying to perform multiple functions vs separate components dedicated to a single function and doing it very well. With $10K to work with I would imagine you could acquire a very good dac/streamer and separate preamp that would outperform a single device that combines those functions. |
I believe this is along the lines of what you’ve asked for. |
