@tvad I am sending the DAC into the manufacturer for some tweaks. Do you think the display upgrade is worth doing? It's $500.
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?

I was wisely advised to purchase the DAC (as is) and try living with the Bricasti house sound first, which is great advice. But money & logistics played a big part in this for me, so I am going for the SE, M1 Series II and the TFT display all at once, go big, or don’t go at all! So, direct from the seller to Joe. I still have my R26 DAC, but with now a big re-arrange in my living room so as to better accommodate my stereo, I will be down in the crawlspace with little time for musical pleasure any ways. No huge rush then, but great to know, thanks again! |
