Accuphase dac 60


 

New guy posting here, lurking for awhile. I have a new Accuphase e380 integrated and love it. Thinking of getting the dac 60 card that goes with it. Thoughts, opinions please. Right now I have a ps audio digital link iii dac that is still going strong. What can I expect from a new modern dac?

 

not sure if this is the correct place to post this. TIA…

I noticed that your amp has “Individual phase setting for each input”, so you might try that to see if it helps. 

Does your music source have an attenuation you’ve used in the past to equalize your PS Audio DAC to your other sources?

@lalitk 

You are pretty familiar with Accuphase components. Do you think that the DAC 60 card output voltage is derived from the integrated amplifier’s preamplifier output or does it likely have its own independent output voltage?

The only good DAC Accuphase built is the DC-1000.

It is amazing, it kill everything I heard from Aqua or Lampizator, regardless of the cost. It is a 20K unit though…. If it’s not for the DC-1000, plenty of better DACs for the money… Aqua and Lampizator to name a few.

If it helps,

I have a Denafrips Pontus ll Dac and I just looked up the output voltages and they are 2.0vrms RCA at 625 ohms and 4.0vrms XLR at 1250 ohms.

All the best.

The DAC60 is a dedicated digital input board that simply decodes incoming digital signal and inputs directly into preamplifier analog section.

@duketbrd88

What is your digital source? And what slot did you install the DAC60 board?
