Accuphase dac 60
I meant to say the accuphase e380 integrated amp itself is a treat to listen to and I enjoy it very much.   
Accuphase dac 60
Thanks everyone for your help, I am trying real hard to like this new dac, but this should be a bit more exciting like when I traded my classe cp500 pre and Classé ca2200 amp towards the Accuphase. That was a nice noticeable difference in sound f... 
Accuphase dac 60
@jjss49  everything is the same. The sources are the same. I can get them both pretty close in sound, well volume wise turning the accuphase up, like 12db higher on the volume. It’s more of a difference for me from low to moderate listening level... 
Accuphase dac 60
I’ll try, but actually like 3/4 volume on the amp now to jam out a little bit. The ps audio just sounds full, tight bass, the midrange, treble and everything are better from low listening level to higher listening levels. The dac 60 sounds so dull... 
Accuphase dac 60
Yeah , all I can think of & don’t see that marked anywhere. Imagine me, not really ever messing with dacs except the ps audio I have had for about 18 years jumping to a $2,000 dac 60 card and noticing that. I am still a little shocked.

@duketbrd88 you need to adjust volume of the internal accuphase dac card to be the same as the external ps audio dlink dac -- that difference will entirely screw up any proper comparison of sound assuming that dac card from accuphase is working ... 
Accuphase dac 60
Jjss49, sounds exactly correct. I have to turn the accuphase up about 12db on the volume to sound about the same. There is also a comp button that boosts it closer to the output to very close to the ps audio dac. it sounds good when cranked up lo... 
Accuphase dac 60
Well, got the dac 60 installed and listened for a good 8 hrs on and off. I do not care for it at all. It sounds crystal clear and musical, but my trusty ps audio digital link iii dac sounds way better in my system hooked up with balanced xlr (kinm...

i'm still amazed every time I turn the accuphase on.   
Accuphase dac 60
Well, thanks everyone. Should be here next week. just ordered it yesterday.  
Accuphase dac 60
Thanks guys! Just hoping I get a good sonic improvement like I did when I traded my Classé delta pre pro towards the Accuphase e380. I have the older B&W 804S towers and this accuphase really made a big difference in sound, for the better. I h... 
Reference DACS: An overall perspective
New guy posting here, lurking for awhile. I have a new Accuphase e380 integrated and love it. Thinking of getting the dac 60 card that goes with it. Thoughts, opinions please. Right now I have a ps audio digital link iii dac that is still going st...
