| Six DAC Comparison @mitch2 As someone who is just starting to look for an upgrade for my denifrips Pontus ll DAC, I am very interested in your thoughts on the six DAC’s you have chosen to review. Thanks for doing this! Jim | |
| Six DAC Comparison @ortodox please PM me and give me your thoughts on Ideon audio DAC’s. Thanks. | |
