Time to retire my McCormack DAC-1 ?


Hi there, hope you all had a great New Year.
I have a McCormack DAC-1 since new. Still sounds lovely BUT I feel I am probably missing out on some music. What would you folks recommend for a replacement??  I'm budgeting 1 grand for a used piece of gear.

Many thanks for your input.

Hey there, OP.
My typical advice for these sorts of questions is to listen to CD's and high resolution music.
If your DAC has a big discrepancy between the two, it is time to upgrade, because the latest generations are much much better with Redbook.

If on the other hand they sound about the same, then the only reason to change is for flavor.

Best,
E
