A DAC that can make digital sound analog?


Hi All,

I have a ModWright Oppo 105D. It’s excellent....but it sure don’t sound like vinyl or tape.

What DACs have you heard that really work like magic on digital audio files? 

I am interested in DACs that kill that digital glare/blare, that gives you that sense of ‘blackness’ or ‘darkness’ to the audio soundscape, really letting you hear into the mix...ya know that layering, space and depth that is very evident on tape.

Very curious to hear your thoughts.

Thanks!

This morning I read a short overview on the KI Ruby player via HiFi+ Magazine. Excerpt can be found over on dailyaudiophile.com
Happy Listening!
I also find the PS audio directstream dac to laid back. Iv'e switched to a Marantz SA10 and couldn't be more pleased
For any future posters making recommendations, it would be very useful if you also listed what days you've heard in the same system as your recommended product. Tough to make much of simple "this one's the best" statements without any context (or consensus).

I am using the Oppo/Modwright 105d with the Ayon Stealth and feel it is a great combination on non-DSD files.  I have another Oppo 205 for DSD and can hear a big difference.  Match made in heaven to these ears
