Ditch the streaming services and get a transport/CD's. Physical media is where it's at! Streaming services cannot be trusted to offer the best uncompressed audio files. You are at their mercy! They need to use compression to fit their files on the digital pipeline.
Thoughts on Moving Up From Denafrips Terminator / GAIA DDC
I sold the combo a couple months back and just can’t seem to find a worthy replacement. I liked the presentation in the most part but felt it a little lacking in air and resolution.
I’ve considered a move up to the T+, since mine was the original with upgraded DSP board, but I feel at this point I should experience something new.
The list of potential candidates seems almost endless so I’d really like to hear from someone who can speak from actually having moved to a better DAC from the Denafrips.
My budget is $5-7k, used.
I’m using a SMG i5, Sonore UltraRendu / UltraDigital
cheers!
