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...

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.

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...

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...

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.

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!

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...

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...

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...
