There are several R2R ladder DACs out these days, so it’s not necessary to revive an old DAC unless you just want to.
Streaming with vintage DACs
Does anyone here stream with a vintage (ca. 1980s or 1990s) DAC? I've been considering them lately since they're mostly ladder DACs. However, I was informed today from a technician at a very well respected Amerian audio company that the receiver chips in them won't support a lot of streaming formats since they aren't PCM? I've been streaming for years, can't imagine how this is an issue
