Try the Wyred4sound 10th anniversary DAC It's very analog sounding one of the reviewers put it up against his VPI turntable with the $5,000 Japanese cartridge and he said that the 10th anniversary DAC was every bit as analog sounding on that review I decided to try it and I totally agree and also as a bonus they give you a 30-day trial period so if you don't like it you can set it back to get your money back I obviously didn't. another reviewer put it up against other More expensive dacs between 9 and 15,000 and he said that the 10th anniversary DAC was better, the cos 1 which was 9,000 US, chord, bricasti, and I put it up against the $15,000 sim DAC and the 10th anniversary DAC was better.
