Hi folks...I am looking for opinions regarding DACs to use as a digital pre-amp to drive my red dragon monoblocks. I am considering Audiolab MDAC plus, Musical Fidelity M6s DAC, NAD C-510, or the Audio Alchemy DDP-1. Any thoughts as to which would be the best pick?
Classé cp 800, or ROTEL RC 1590 , both have analogue inputs too. I had the Rotel a few weeks, but brought it back to the shop, sound was not at all dynamic,
Nuprime DAC-10. Fully balanced preamp with a DAC included. Designed to work with their own "Class D" amps. Has worked with W4S, Nord, Mivera, Nuprime and Job amps in my FR system.
Haven't heard the ones you mentioned, but I had a Bel Canto DAC3VB in my system and in addition to being a great sounding DAC I found its preamp section to be indistinguishable from my Bryston BP6 preamp. There are a couple 3.5VBs for sale here now, one almost unbelievably cheap. Read the reviews, and yes the VB version is definitely the one to get. Best of luck.
