| DAC recommendation @OP,a DAC that would make Tidal and FLACs sound equally musical and engaging. And wondering if that exists for $300 At $300, it might be possible, but I rather doubt it.B | |
| Have there been upgrades to the Rega Apollo-R CD player through the years I rather doubt it, but why not contact Rega directly?Though you could also use the Apollo R and output to a DAC of your choice. That is what I do.B | |
