If you're looking for an analogue sounding DAC, focus on R2R rather than the Delta Sigma offerings. There are scores of good to sublime sounding R2R DACs at all price points. Good luck.
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
