@ddafoe Good to know, thank you and yes, that Meitner MA3 better be good at that price!
Back to the DAC
Just a bit of an update. When I inquired about a DAC upgrade in a recent post, it was suggested that I look at upgrading my cables first. Since then, I have done so (see my virtual system for that). Not over the top stuff, but a definite improvement over the mostly stock, generic cables I originally had.
System is sounding pretty darn good, but like most of us, you always wonder what a more expensive DAC will offer in the way of sound quality improvements.
Many of the recommended, higher priced DACs seem to include streamers and/or offer pre-amp capabilities. I have a good streamer and pre-amp and really don’t want all those components in one box.
Have any of you experienced a DAC which offers the sound qualities of highly praised units like the Mola Mola Tambaqui, DCS Lina, T&A 200, Weiss DAC501, etc. which their only function is a DAC?

Tubeous nervosa is normal. Like a cold plunge it seems scary but once you do it you know the Why and it makes sense. Like you I have had a W4S 2.2 SE, it was better than a Yggdrasil but not better than a Terminator or Terminator Plus with or without a DDC and I2S. I bought a used Lampizator Goldengate and never looked back at the Denafrips. I recently upgraded it to GG3 status with the Engine 11, JL USB and new OLED volume and its now in another world. There is a used Lampizator Baltic 3/4 on Hifishark with a few years of warranty left, it has Engine 11 and JL USB. |
@anzaanimalclinic is that the one in Mexico? |
@navyachts If you are not afraid of European products, then I highly recommend to also consider Métronome Le Dac. The people of Métronome in France make great streamers and dacs. |
