Re: outboard DAC for CAL DX1 or new one box unit?

63.27.252.103

I had a DX1 and I used CAL's Gamma dac with it. This was a small but worthwhile upgrade. I had some problems with the DX1 and upgraded to CAL's Delta transport. The Delta has the same transport as the DX1, but I believe the digital output circuitry is better. Anyway, I replaced the Gamma dac with a Camelot Arthur V3.0 MkII. This was a major upgrade. I just added an Audio Alchemy DTI V2.0 anti-jitter box, another small but worthwhile improvement. One advantage of this was that the DTI outputs I2S and the Arthur has inputs for I2S. If you decide to go with a dac, give some thought to buying a Monarchy DIP, to go between the DX1 and the dac. If you enter DIP in search on the inmates page, you will find a lot of good info. The recommendation of the CAL dac above would also work very well.
