| Qobuz I was a beta tester for Qobuz and like it very much. Its album selection is acceptable and you can always find something to listen to. I especially like their hi-res albums (24/96 and 24/192). I dropped Tidal streaming since I was always listen... | |

| Node2i + Qutest or Yggy or Codex or something else +1, I also agree with Bob's recommendation above. The Ayre Codex DAC sounds wonderful and is from a company with excellent customer service. | |
| Node2i + Qutest or Yggy or Codex or something else Do you have a budget for a new DAC? As noted above, are you able to hear any of these products at your local audio store? The best way to decide is for you to hear it. Please note that I replaced my Parasound Hint 6 Integrated amp (after owning it... | |

| Bricasti M1 owners- a question- @rsf507, The sigma delta DAC and the ladder DAC are both excellent. After switching back and forth, I prefer the ladder DAC. It is smoother and the music sounds more natural to me. These differences are not huge but I do most of my listening t... | |
| Bricasti M1 owners- a question- @rsf507, I never considered the Bricasti M12 Dual Mono Source Controller since I ONLY needed a DAC. I am using the SimAudio 700i V2 integrated amplifier and use its volume control. Based on my experience, I prefer to use the volume control in t... | |
| Bricasti M1 owners- a question- @rsf507, The Bricasti M1SE DAC is very good and the Bricasti M21 DAC sounds much better (In my opinion). The M21 DAC includes both a sigma delta DAC and a ladder DAC. The M21 has great detail, is clearer and is very musical. I suggest you give ... | |
