Audio Note Kits. DAC 3.1. I am surprised AN has not been mentioned. Its crazy how good it sounds. I speak from experience as I have one and have gone through several 2500.00 Dig DAC's. I had it paired to a Bryston pre until I got the AN 3M line pre. The DAC was the biggest improvement made to my system. Even more than the AN tube pre.
Unforgiving DAC or add Tube Preamp??
I have added a (Benchmark HGC 2 DAC) to run digital music to my Modwright KWA 150 SE. At first I was impressed with the detail but much of my music sounds more harsh than what my ears are used to. Apparently Benchmark DACS are known to be unforgiving. Should I look towards a different DAC or would adding a Tube Preamp be the best solution? Or change both? Recommendations welcomed!
