What DAC upgrade made you say “DAMN, that sounds SO MUCH better than my last DAC”?

As the title suggests, what was your overall system and DAC at the point where you bought only a new DAC and said “DAMN, that sounds SO MUCH better than my last DAC”?

I’m a novice and so many people talk about improvements from new equipment as if they were only listening to varying degrees of static until they bought more and more new equipment which added up to them finally being presented with music. It’s like Salome and the seven veils. But when does the last veil get peeled away? 

So what system did you have and what DAC did you swap in that made you say “DAMN!!!!”?

I guess I’m looking for night and day differences, not gradual progressions……

Hi All,

I was using both a Theta ProBasic III and a Soekris 1421. I purchased a used Mojo Audio Mystique V3 on Audiogon and, after six weeks listening to it, decided it is simply superior. Better depth of soundstage, more detail without any harshness, deeper bass, and a better weight to the sound. It has woken up my Thiel CS5i's.

The Mystique is so much better that I convinced myself to put in an order with Ben for a Mystique EVO B4B. This from a person who almost exclusively purchases used gear....

Thanks for listening,

Dsper
