In Reply to: Old DACs vs. new ones? posted by J Corner on May 4, 2005 at 03:54:56:
if you like classical music and search "musicality" an dac like the benchmark is not for you , too clinical , (very good for rytmn 's modern music )
you better try a non oversampling dac like the Audio note dac , or the cheaper one Ack DAc ( with batterry power supplie very analog sounding)
or if you are more fortunate , the best in its category is the AUdio Aero `dac or CD player (24/192 tube balanced dac ) i own a audio aero capitole mkII for a long time and i never listened something better in all domains , musicality, dynamic, transparency.. etc..good luck.
