I'm looking to migrate from a cd based system to a computer based system. I have been able to audition some of the components within my system. My cd based system consists of an older DCS stack, Atmasphere amps, Vandy 5a speakers and Audioquest cables. I took out the DCS stack and replaced it with a friends computer based components including La Cie storage connected to a SS Mac Mini via Thunderbolt and iTunes via Audirvana. The Dac was an Esoteric D-07x. Playing a range of familiar music (70's rock, 50's jazz and some country/bluegrass) my old ears could not hear a difference.
The Esoteric has the capability to receive 24/192 and upsample to DSD which i like given my long experience with DCS. Other than the Esoteric the other UBS Dacs I've heard of that upsample to DSD are the Meitner ma-1 and the DCS Debussy.
Does anyone have experience or insight with these dacs? How would you compare the Meitner and DCS dacs to the Esoteric which I've heard. All of these appear to be on the expensive side so if anyone knows of a better value choice I would be interested as well.
Any input would be appreciated. Thx
