@tomwipf Nice, but way over my budget...Enjoy!
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?

@navyachts Sorry to hear that. My Poseidon will be on the top shelf of a tall rack. I was able to place my Jay's Audio transport in a 10" high rack shelf. There's still 5" to slide the drawer open and place the CD with puck above it in one smooth install. I don't have to look even. The Shanling ET3 in black was difficult as the heavy, black glass puck had to fit within a very snug opening even though it had ample space, it would have been much better on a top shelf for access. |
@fleschler I don't play CD's nor do I have $24K for a Poseidon, but thanks for sharing! |
@tomwipf Yes, I see there is one listed here on AG but I am committed now to the Bricasti M1 SE II...fingers crossed that it's end game for me! |
