| Looking for a vinylesk sounding DAC All those suggestions are great people, thank you!! I already own an R2R DAC, so now I'll be looking at- NOS R2R - Reconstruction filter- superior clockingAs my budget is around 2,5k I will definitely have an eye on the Lapizator TDA1541 NOS, Tuba... | |
| Looking for a vinylesk sounding DAC Oh, I didn't know Fremer's article back from 2000 but it's a good read. For me the main question is if that is still the truth after 20 years. DACs have been improved a lot and most of them claim to sound "analog" (while just some do).But my conce... | |
| Which R2R DAC UP TO 1K: ORGANIC, FULL-BODIED, DEEP SOUNDSTAGE Well spoken, mahgister!In the meantime I bought Schiits Bifrost 2 and it has all I wanted, especially it brings out real instruments in a really organic way. My understanding of this term in respect of hifi is a presentation that makes you feel li... | |
| Which R2R DAC UP TO 1K: ORGANIC, FULL-BODIED, DEEP SOUNDSTAGE George, it doesn't seem constant and the input impedance of my preamp is 47 kOhm. Guess I will be looking for something else.As you're a fan of the NAIM CDP 555 - do you also know the old naim dac? They came out around the same time. | |
| Which R2R DAC UP TO 1K: ORGANIC, FULL-BODIED, DEEP SOUNDSTAGE Thanks George! I just found a Lector Digicode 2.24 which was offered to me for 1.150 EUR. Seems to be one of Lectors first dacs and should be around 10 years old. Price is still negotiable a bit I guess. http://www.lector-audio.com/dc224.htmActual... | |
| Which R2R DAC UP TO 1K: ORGANIC, FULL-BODIED, DEEP SOUNDSTAGE George I really missed this, sorry! I tried to find the Cary everywhere, but the only version I saw on hifishark does not have a digital input. Seems the 303 without 200. Will keep on looking for the right version. What do you think would be an ad... | |
| Which R2R DAC UP TO 1K: ORGANIC, FULL-BODIED, DEEP SOUNDSTAGE On SBAF they already call 'em Convert 2 light... ;] The Modius definitely got my attention, together with the Modi Multibit which might be the cheapest R2R DAC around. | |
| Which R2R DAC UP TO 1K: ORGANIC, FULL-BODIED, DEEP SOUNDSTAGE Same thing as with the MHDT. As my preamp uses tubes, the dac shouldn’t. Don’t want the overall signature to be too tube dictated. But thanks anyway! | |
| Which R2R DAC UP TO 1K: ORGANIC, FULL-BODIED, DEEP SOUNDSTAGE I sold the Lector because I was an idiot!I knew he was a keeper but in the end I had around 20 CDs I like, while I'm having more than 150 albums on Quobuz which I prefer. I even asked Lectors service if they could add a digital input but they coul... | |
| Which R2R DAC UP TO 1K: ORGANIC, FULL-BODIED, DEEP SOUNDSTAGE Thanks a lot for the ongoing support!Will definitely check out the Electrocompaniet, while I am a bit sceptic about MHDT as my preamp is tube packed already. Could be too much in addition. Denafrips, hmmm. Don’t they use the soekris architecture i... | |
| Which R2R DAC UP TO 1K: ORGANIC, FULL-BODIED, DEEP SOUNDSTAGE Thanks a lot for the first ideas!@georgehifi I just found one Cary 303 through hifishark but it doesn't have a digital input. Nevertheless the reviews sound promising. The CAL' s reviews seem to be fitting too. Found one in Austria, while I'm from... |
