| Back to the DAC @mclinnguy great advice, thank you. So, you are happy with you your Weiss 501 in your system? I would imagine the Magnepans have a similar flair to the Martin Logans? Not sure. | |
| Back to the DAC @audphile1 OK, I have passed on the Merlot. Now I have found a one month old Briscati M1 SE II demo unit for $7500. Full lifetime warranty. A tad more than I want to spend, but... Or, I could wait a bit for the $2,700 Harmony Laiv DAC which seem ... | |
| Back to the DAC @audphile1 all excellent points. I will further my research. As always, I really appreciate your help! You as well @yyzsantabarbara | |
| Back to the DAC @audphile1 ok, super thank you! | |
| Back to the DAC @yyzsantabarbara thanks, I was going to reply to you tomorrow. Maybe I should give the LIM DAC a shot first? It's just these Merlots don't come up often and it's an inexpensive way to get a taste of the PBD genre. @audphile1 thanks as well | |
| Back to the DAC @audphile1 Point well taken! I was going to pull the trigger on a 4-year-old, $4K, PBD Merlot DAC (unheard & no returns) tomorrow. Maybe I should re-think this? | |
| Back to the DAC @ddafoe LOL! | |
| Back to the DAC @zuesman Well, it’s not the anniversary model, but I did have had a W4S 2v2 SE in the past and found it to quite good, thanks. Are you a pal of EJ's? @nonoise lot of hype over this Harmony DAC, same as when the Gustard R26 came out. I think I’ll ... | |
| Back to the DAC @vinylshadow just an FYI, I am NOT spending $24K on a DAC, nor considering Denafrips. Hopefully I can get one of the better, aforementioned DACs here for under $10,000. I’m in no rush, so will wait patiently for something to come up. The likes bei... | |
| Back to the DAC Thank you all for your comments and recommendations. I have a short list now and will continue to search for something in this list within my budget. dmiller01 recommended the now discontinued Playback Designs Merlot DAC. Does anyone else have an... | |
| Back to the DAC @mitch2 agreed. @hysteve T&A has some great reviews, particularly this one: https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fyoutu.be%2FFy-cVOJNWRY%3Ffeature%3Dshared&data=05%7C02%7C%7C0d6bc643d75f4d2ef20208dc66cce6e3%7C8... | |
| Back to the DAC @soix the Lampizator is a great suggestion, buy like @tvad I also suffer from tubeous nervosa, lol! @bigkidz see above & below @riie at $27,500 you better be happy! https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/msb-premier-dac/ @vinylshadow It’s ... | |
| Back to the DAC @audphile1 The Bricasti is highly recommended. I recall you had one but moved on to PS Audio. Which model Bricasti did you have? | |
| Back to the DAC @helomech Thanks, I have heard great thing about the DMP-A8, but I'd like to stick with separates for now. Although one day, I could see myself going with an active pair of speakers...only! lol | |
| Back to the DAC @soix Better presentation of musical overtones, amplitude, pitch, timbre, texture with a wider/deeper soundstage (if this is possible) than I have with my existing DAC. Under $10K, used is OK. Martin Logan speakers used to be a lot brighter in th... |
