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

Aesthetix Pandora Sig w ancient but well tended Amperex and Mullards. Very analog….but…there are MANY musical DAC out there…

have fun and enjoy the search and music,

I really like my Mola mola Tambaqui

Though Ive heard the MPD8 IS a great great DAC 

but having never heard one I can't say if it "best" the Tambaqui

“What does your DAC sound like”

….sounds articulate, honest but with just enough warmth to keep my foot tapping and shoulders relaxed. 

Unless you are comparing DACS to each other in the same system one after another you wouldn't have a clue how they sound. Peoples critical listening skills just aren't that good especially after a certain amount of time has passed!
