Quick question: Has anyone ever compared the Micromega MyDAC to the PS Audio Digital Link III (stock)?
If so, what were your impressions?
If so, what were your impressions?
Which DAC from this list sounds best with my system: Atoll, Micromega, PS Audio, Simaudio?
I currently own a Cambridge DacMagic (original) and I'm using it with a Sonos Connect Network Streamer. the rest of my system consists of a Roksan Kandy MkIII integrated amp and Vandersteen 2C speakers. All cabling (RCA & Speaker) is Mogami.
I'm using the Digital-Out (Coax) from the Sonos to the DacMagic. Then from there to the Roksan. I like the sound of the DacMagic, but I'm looking for something that has a little more impact or slam (dynamics), as well as better bass definition and response. Perhaps something a little fuller in the mids too.
Here are the DAC's I am curious about/considering:
1. Atoll DAC-100
2. Micromega MyDAC
3. PS Audio Digital Link III
4. Simaudio 100D

If I would sell the Sonos and get a Bluesound Node 2, do you think I would feel the need to get an external DAC? Thanks for all the suggestions so far. I should have given my budget as some of the offerings are out of my range. My budget is $300-$500 max. I’m looking at used obviously. Another DAC I wanted to add is the Benchmark DAC-1. Any good? As of now, gmy budget, I’m thinking either PS Audio DLIII, Atoll DAC100, or sell the Sonos and go Bluesound Node 2. |
I believe it is according to this thread: https://www.computeraudiophile.com/forums/topic/37656-time-to-dump-tidal-bluesound-blueos-now-has-de... |
If more bass is what you are after I would suggest getting a bluesound node 2. I tried many dacs with my Sonos looking for improvements and finally settled on a node2. Much better bass slam. If you like the Sonos interface then perhaps try a reclocker first or get the Cullen mods performed on your Sonos before spending a considerable amount of money on a dac. |
