I am currently listening to a Yamamoto YDA-1 and it sounds very vivid, immediate, and musical. They do pop up used from time to time but not often.
What does your DAC sound like
I’m in the market for a newly used DAC, based on reviews I’m considering the playback designs Merlot, Vermeer, Grimm mu2. I prefer a well balanced sound more analog like. I hoping that user experiences with these dacs OR others that might fit the bill will respond
cheers
