What the Best Dac have you heard or owned. How could you tell it was that good.


I wondered what’s the best sounding dac you have heard or owned. What did it do that the others didn’t.

After many years of reliable service, my AMR CD-77 CDP, with its anachronistic TDA 1541A DAC, finally stopped outputting sound.  Not sure what the issue is, but repairs for it would be impractical.  Thus, I decided to pick up another old-school DAC, a Levinson 360S with its 1704K DAC chip.  I love the spaciousness, airy sound of these DACs from the early 2000s, and don't see myself ever getting any new upsampling or DSD DACs.
