To DAC or not to DAC ?

You will wet yourself when you buy a real DAC.

$790 will buy the Denafrips Ares 2. 

Best thing about buying this one is that if you

decide against it, 2 hours on Agon and it will

resold for exactly what you paid.

Get back to us when your shorts dry!!!

Anyone who would pey the new price for something used probably shouldn't be allowed to live alone.

+1 The Absolute Sound and Stereophile Recommended Components issue.

A two box solutions allow greater flexibility to upgrade one aspect... save up for next upgrade... etc. you might save a few dollars with a single box solution... but long-term is unlikely to be as cost effective unless this is your only upgrade.

I AM BLOWN AWAY ON HOW MANY GREAT RESPONSES I'VE RECEIVED. WHAT A GREAT WAY TO FIND OUT INFO ON PRODUCTS AND DIRECTIONS TO PROCEED WITH ! I THINK I'M LEANING MORE TO UPGRADING MY PRE AMP AND GO FROM THERE. ONCE THATS DONE, NOT SURE IF SHOULD GO WITH A STREAMER DAC COMBO THAT IS IN LINE WITH THE REST OF MY SYSTEM OR A SEPERATE DAC AND STAY WITH THE VAULT. HMMMMMM ?

THANK YOU ALL !!!

Cool. Good choice. Take your time, you will be rewarded.
