So did you try out the Exasound s82? If so, can you post your thoughts on it
Upgrading my Auralic Vega G1 streaming dac
I am looking to upgrade my Auralic Vega G1 streaming dac and am considering the following:
Auralic Vega G2.1
Bricasti M3 (with network card)
Exasound S82
Meitner MA3
Weiss Dac501
I would be using the ethernet input, not USB, and will be keeping my Zesto Leto 1.5 linestage so the new dac/streamer would not be serving as a preamp or volume control. MQA and headphone amp are not important to me, but dsd performance is. I can live without DSD256 or 512.
Has anyone had the opportunity to audition and compare any of the above? I would like to narrow the list down to 2 or 3 before bringing them into my system for home audition.
In addition to the Zesto linestage, the rest of my system consists of a Sonictransporter i5 server, Aesthetix Atlas Eclipse amp, and MG 3.7i speakers
