| Six DAC Comparison I didn't include the Weiss DAC204 on my list below because of the low'ish price and because I haven't heard that much about it. I do however like the simplicity, and that you have a choice of 88.2 or 176.4 kHz sample rates, which are multiples of... | |
| Six DAC Comparison @bgross - Here is a list to get you started on currently popular $4K’ish DACs you could compare. One is over the range and one below, but the others are pretty close to $4K. Canor DAC 2.10 $3,999 Linear Tube Audio Aero $3,950 Mojo Audio Mysti... | |
| Six DAC Comparison @brbrock - SMc Audio uses chokes in their outboard “Power Station” for the VRE preamplifier, which is the same power supply they used for my TLC-1 SE. You can see a picture on page 4 of this review. | |

| Six DAC Comparison @wig -Thanks for the cable list. I have never tried Grover Huffman cables of any type but I know many like them and believe they offer a good performance to price ratio. I have not gone too far down the road of digital cables but I have tried a... | |
| Six DAC Comparison Sort of. The Mojo DACs and Aero are all R-2R DACs while the Merason is a hybrid Delta-Sigma, so there are fundamental differences in the conversion that are not surprisingly audible, IMO. The differences in the sound between the Mojos and Aero ma... | |
| Six DAC Comparison @soix - Not planning a big reveal at the end, but maybe a couple of comparison comments. I will mostly let the write-ups stand on their own. Regarding the Merason and LTA Aero, they are both DACs but otherwise somewhat apples and oranges. The Aer... | |

| Your last concert was to see who and when? @tkrtrb125 - Have you seen Tedeschi Trucks Band before? Was it a good show? @boxer12 - Darn, I missed Phish in GR. Billy Strings too. | |
| Six DAC Comparison @brbrock - This review of the Mystique EVO shows a good image of the insides of the full-sized chassis that was used through the EVO Pro model and changed to the narrower but longer extruded chassis first used for the Mystique X. You should be ab... | |
| Six DAC Comparison @rja -Take a look at this review of the Mystique Y DAC, where Ken Redmond asks the same question you just asked, and received this answer: Since I did not have all three versions in-house, I asked Ben for his thoughts on the impact of the diff... | |
| Six DAC Comparison @sns - Widely variable from as little as about 20 minutes to maybe 3 hours, with most being like a half-hour to 2 hours, sometimes listening intently and taking notes, other times reading or working on my computer. For these comparisons, I have k... | |
| Six DAC Comparison This has been interesting in realizing how important it is to match SPLs (sound pressure levels) when comparing audio equipment. It is fine to listen and evaluate a unit on its own merits at various volume levels, but when directly comparing two ... | |
| Six DAC Comparison @sns - Regarding the Musetec MH-DA006, I like the appearance and there are design aspects of that DAC that look very interesting. Also, I could input I2S out of the Singxer DDC. I do keep hearing how the $4K'ish price range is getting jam-packe... | |
| Six DAC Comparison @sns "Now, I would add, perhaps this exact presentation may not be everyone's cup of tea" That is really the thing. In the old days, before PETA and SPCA (with which I volunteer), we used to say, "there is more than one way to skin a cat". ... |
