In Reply to: The 'point' is not about one generic DAC. It is about many old DACs are just as good as most new ones... posted by Smelly_Socks on November 26, 2016 at 11:38:35:
Well you can make that generalization about every component, there will always be a few that can compete or be better than a current component.
You stated that your particular dac, beat out the Bryston.
I have a P300, but I use it for my tube preamp, tuner, transport, and dac.
I don't think my other components would like the higher Hz, I know that I tried it in the past.
Yes there are older dacs that hold their own against current models. Often it can boil down to features, my Camelot Arthur V3 24/192 is a good dac, but it lacks a USB input, and even with USB to spdif converter.
I would be short of inputs.
A lot of times with dacs the way they are implemented and the analog stages, are what matters.
If you have found a dac that can be purchased for much less than a newr model that is really good, why not share what it is? There were also a lot of $1k dacs that wouldn't compete with current models.
I'm sure I am not the only one who would like to know what dac beat the Bryston. Why be secretive about it. You either want to buy everyone of them you can find or you're embarrassed by it.
So share the name of the dac, it will tell us if you hear the same things we do.
If you want to know all the dacs I have had in my system, just ask.
