| NOS DAC Journey - SW1X DAC III STd There's also the NOS Holo Spring dac, which is a very similar dac to the denafrips. I did a review of it here. https://www.stereo.net.au/forums/topic/256748-holo-spring-dac-level2-review/?tab=comments#comment-40...Cheers George | |
| Clayton or Pass Class A, which one do you prefer and why ? I'd go with the Pass.If you know anything about heat dissipation on heat sinks, the top mounted ones on some Clayton models are a not efficient at all for removing heat for Class-A heat dissipation. You need vertical side mounted, and as many fins... | |

| High resolution digital is dead. The best DAC's killed it. You have not heard every DAC, so making sweeping statements is not useful. Yes it is totally useful, and you can get off "your own product protection horse", as I did say every dac I've heard, and I hear pretty much a new dac every couple of we... | |
| What will a preamp do for me? thosb OP Also try a different source, as I’m not convinced about the firmware fixing what the Stereophile reviewer heard because they didn’t do back-flips over it, which is kinda what your hearing too. As what they heard could be interpreted as ... | |

Sorry don’t know about yours, but totally the opposite for me, no Delta Sigma I’ve heard can match it with those three R2R Multibit dac chips you mentioned or o... | |
| High resolution digital is dead. The best DAC's killed it. not realising what they had, traded them in on the latest craze of Sigma Delta super hires units. They had to get a Delta Sigma based dac because they were sucked into doing DSD download playback, and this was their down fall. As Delta Sigma does... | |
