Simple answer is yes.... I purchased a Monarchy NM24 that uses 6922 tubes very nice....but I transformed the unit by adding Amperex NOS 1950 d-getters and replacing the 2 coupling caps(Wima 2.7's) to Mundorf M-supremes...I also increased the wire gauge size on the connection(minor detail).This stock 1100 Dac went to a dac sounding like it should cost 5k or more. Now I know most won't go through the trouble but for me it made sense....This is a well made and designed DAC. So for 1500 hundred invested it's a good chance.
Will a new DAC make an improvement in sound?
My present DAC is a 5-6 year old Stellavox ST2. Online at http://www.stellavox.com/st2.html
My question is, will I improve my sound noticeably if I buy a newer DAC such as the Benchmark DAC1?
I have a good system, Avalon Eidolon and BAT electronics, so if there is a decided difference, I would be glad to hear it. Plus the price of the Benchmark DAC is not too formidable, which is a big plus.
Any opinions would be appreciated.
thank you
