| Best DACs under $7,000.00 To phastm3: Thanks for looping back and responding to that. You are right, the rest of the system can completely changed the opinion of a DAC. But you did stimulate a lot of folks to look into the T+A Dac200. Me included. Thanks. | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 Thanks badgerdms. That's the kind of feedback that DAC hunters are looking for. It's scary enough to plunk down thousands on a review. So the more we receive feedback and it gets reinforced by different users in varying environments, the better... | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 Hi Jerryg123, Yes, if you look on the list in the thread, the Merson DAC-1 is in fact listed. If you look for reviews of this model, you'll find some solid support. It won Editor's Choice at The Ear magazine and an enthusiastic review in Part-T... | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 To vthokie83 Thanks and so true. You could add the type of music you are most drawn to. Some people build their system around natural acoustics and deep jazz. Some build around electronica and high bass drive. That's what makes finding the be... | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 Yes, several broke the $ limit and would be eliminated off my short list of these. As I was looking over the summary list, I realized that I left one out that was mentioned: Wyred4sound 10th anniversary DAC I’ve taken the list and am going thro... | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 Thanks to Everyone for contributing your thoughts and passions to this thread: Obviously, there is a broad selection in this price range. In summary and for your research benefit, here is a wrap on what was suggested: DACs – $5,000 - $7,000 ran... | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 I've heard good things about the TotalDac line. They have been used in show rooms with very sophisticated systems. | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 To juanmanuelfangioii: Agreed. | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 The T+A DAC 200 has created a lot of buzz. It appears to be one of the top contenders in this price bracket. Yes, thanks @phastm3 for sharing. | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 To @pennfootball71: I haven't written anything about the Aqua DACs at all. Others in this thread have mentioned them but I've never seen one in person. Your critique is aimed at others in this conversation. | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 To pennfootball71: Yes, the Lamp Baltic keeps getting passionate reviews. At the top of the budget but has a large fan club. So wish these units were available to listen to or had more comparative reviews. But the market is crowded and I'm ... | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 To Undefined: Well, it looks like we share some of the same musical tastes! The PrimaLuna DAC received some great reviews in 2019-2020. It has solid availability and price (much less than the budget I set for this thread). I really hadn’t looked a... | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 Thanks adasdad. Nice answer and good, broken down details. I'lll be looking at every link to see what might be improved, piece by piece. So good of you to take the time to detail it all. 👍 | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 Hi adasdad, Thank you for that good plug for the Chord Hugo TT. You said, "If you haven’t done as much as you can to limit RFI and EMI, then no matter how good your DAC is you’ll ultimately be frustrated and will constantly be wondering where th... | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 Thanks juanmanuelfangioii It's a positive review on this unit. |
