Historically, the DAC section in the Parsound integrated has been a weak spot. While the new HINT 6 uses a different DAC chip (ESS), it is likely that they haven't upgraded the DAC circuit itself. Anyone have direct experience listening to the old HINT DAC side by side with the new HINT DAC?
Upgrade Hint 6?
My Parasound Hint 6 sounds amazing but I suffer from the same obsession that many of you do. How far up the Schiit DAC food chain would I need to go to get an appreciable improvement in sound?
