@rbstehno My Aurender N200 is optimize for USB out, so I need select a DAC with solid USB implementation. My Wyred 4 Sound 2v2 SE DAC was the same. You have to match the equipment's compatibility. What DAC is it you use?

@worldwidewholesales great insight, but I think for the general audio enthusiast and most general homeowners, it’s difficult to test hundreds of DAC, let alone 5, before purchasing. It also seems that most DACs now come with a pre-amp function an...

@audphile1 +1 no Schiit! I like the way you cut to the chase! Yes, you have suggested the TT2 to me in the past. Maybe this is the way to go? Hopefully the re-sellers have a bit more on the ball than the Bricasti group I have been dealing with (or...

@blisshifi yes, we have chatted before and yes, I'm aware that the T&A DAC 200 is very highly rated. In turn, I just wanted to say I do not have any DSD content nor do I up sample. Regardless, how's pricing on the T&A these days?
