I tried a few DACs recently and found the Denafrips ARES II a major improvement and a keeper. I went computer audio from my YBA Design CDP in 2016 and have auditioned a number of DACs. ARES is around $850 from Singapore. Lots of reviews on it.
Will a new Dac improve the sound?
I have an older CD player( Cary CDP1) . It sounds good ,but would a new or used Dac in the line improve the sound? Looking at Dacs in the $600 - $1200 range. I know the other equipment would also matter in the outcome, but as a general question......do you think this would be an upgrade to the sound? Or should i go another route?
