Add two high quality, powered subwoofers, or a swarm system.
Recommend a dac that contributes to system for tight bass
I am not a bass fiend just would like a dac that has pleasing tight moderately deep bass. I have pass labs monoblocks so amp not an issue....don't really want tube dac....
I know room and acoustics and system synergy play crucial role but have found some dacs excel at transparency like chord and other sound a bit flat like oppo....marantz is slightly warm exc prat but bass is bit light....
Thanks in advance.....

It very difficult to compare, given that I wasn't able to really AB them together. I would say that the Electrocompaniet was a bit warmer. I like warmth, but am enjoying what I perceive to be a more neutral, and revealing sound from the Pontus. The downside is that the flaws of poorly recorded CDs are more apparent with the Pontus, but then well-recorded ones shine. So the EC was, to my ears, less revealing, but more forgiving. |
for those that are wondering why good dacs sound different, here is my post from last september -- points c) and d) are significant in determining the sound character of a dac jjss49 2,132 posts |
