I found a used DMS500 at Cary.com for under 2k, first time I've spent on digital in a long while, my music room has had just a TT for the last 5 years. I'm hoping as a Roon endpoint it will be a tidy digital music solution. I'll post back after listening, should get here tomorrow, probably as excited as I was before my Dynavector XV1T arrived. This box seems to be the real deal based on the reviews and forums I've read. Even gonna try to rip my hirez discs for streaming. Too much stuff is not on Vinyl that I want to listen to in hifi, that being said also more great vinyl coming out than I ever could have imagined. AAA Soup, the new Blakely lp. Good music times
Under $3K streaming dac suggestions, Roon Ready?
Just as the title explains..
Currently using an Auralic Mini to Mytek Liberty. Looking for a one box solution to save space/cables primarily, but if sound quality improvement is capable in the under $3K range as well, then WOOHOO!!!
Will be hooked up to a Yamaha A-S2100 integrated, Spendor A4 speakers.
I've previously used: Lumin D2, and PS Audio DSD Jr. - and both of those sounded the same as my current setup, and I'm not against going back to either of those since they fit the requirements.
Open to all/any other suggestions. I have my eye currently on: Mytek Brooklyn Bridge and the Teac NT-505. Would prefer a component that offers balanced & unbalanced outputs, and volume control isn't needed of course.
Best,
Rob
