Next best exponential DAC quality level?
@cindyment  Yes you must be right because the Aries Cerat Kassandra II DAC weighs 120kgs and Lamm hasn't changed the design of their solid state 1.2 class A monoblocks for around 20 years. These guys must be total clowns to build such garbage : )...

@cindyment  It appears you are regurgitating a load of stuff about DACs from Wikipedia or wherever, your incites don't seem to come from experience or first hand knowledge. Here we go: A $99.00 DAC is a turd and you can't put lipstick on it you p... 
Does Lumin x1 needs a dac ? does a good dac will improve it ?

Single Ended DAC vs Dual Differential XLR DAC

$99.00 laughing my tits off! I've spent over 20x that on speaker spikes. Ffs get with the program or have a ear transplant.

Does Lumin x1 needs a dac ? does a good dac will improve it ?
@haimr Thank you for your kind words. However after looking at your system I would think that the problem lays with your speakers. I'm very old school and I believe speakers should be made out of wood. Most musical instruments are wooden. IMHO fib... 
Best way to connect Sony UBP-X800M2 for DVD-A and SACD
The HDMI are for video and multichannel audio but you have a coax output to go into a DAC and then into your Bryston.  
What are the top 3 USB cables being used today in reference systems?
