Recommend a dac that contributes to system for tight bass

while streaming may be great I dont want to go there yet....mostly vinyl if want to play digital will play occasional disks.....the whole streaming thing is not my bag.......

as someone else pointed out its not so much the bass as a bit lean in midrange (lower midrange) at times with the qutest and chord products .....I am using pass labs monoblocks so it aint the amps and harbeth 40.2 speakers which are hardly lean either

Ive had a Chord Qutest for a long while and I keep going back to it even though I try many different dacs from time to time. I will say the Qutest is one of the DAC’s that gave me the deepest, biggest and tightest bass. It’s also warm leaning in my system. A big fat fluid full sound comes from this little black box with great layering and details but never ever thin, harsh or bright. The Hugo TT 2 is more of that, with an even bigger sound. The DAVE is more surgical... If a Qutest or TT2 sounds bright or thin, there's an issue somewhere in the system chain causing that. Could be room, speaker placement, cables, source, etc. Anyway, tough to find a DAC that delivers bigger bass than a Chord Qutest (within its price range of course). 

Hi Mwasilow,

I thought some here said Bifrost 2 has a edge or sharp treble?

If it is in fact not the bass but the low mids you are looking to address, why not simply buy a Schiit Lokius EQ and see if that does the trick?

A lot cheaper than buying a DAC and you can return it if you don't like it.
