Thoughts on DAC option

Current DAC is the original Auralic Vega . This was a HUGE upgrade in sound quality from a Cambridge Audio DAC Magic.

And things are good right now. Well, mostly, it's not like we are generally blessed with freedom from the desire to upgrade!

And now I have an option of a Chord 2qute. My main issue with the current setup is the fatigue on some music. EDM is generally fantastic, however rock is often harsh. Voices are great.

So the question is whether the Chord could smooth off the sharper edges of things.

All feedback gratefully received.

System is:

Sources - PC and Auralic Aries Mini

Amp - Prima Luna Frank Hybrid Integrated

Speakers - Krix Harmonix 2

Interconnects and speaker cables are average but not the biggest factor here from what I can tell.

The Link is the latest Model Released of the Topping D90, which is similar monies to the Chord as a new purchase price.

The user adjustable interface in the new D90, is going to receive much favour and might be the option that creates the success of its sales campaign.

Time to come of the Gas a little, act in haste - repent at leisure.

I strongly recommend when budgeting $1K, learning what is on offer from the D90 III is to be a worthwhile undertaking.
