In Reply to: RE: Dacs with a great bass. posted by beppe61 on April 08, 2015 at 10:25:29
My Metrum Octave bass is much better from my Sony transport than Oppo.
An Emotiva CD player (generation 1 I think) that I heard had bass like I have never heard otherwise, so check them for cheap DAC w/ awesome bass (I just did not like the slight glare, etc.). It was a reference for my ears and I have not heard such low, tight bass otherwise.

Hi and thanks a lot indeed for the confirmation that also the transport is important.
So even if i buy a mighty Wadia and use it with a bad transport the bass will suffer greatly.
This is important to me.
Sometimes Emotiva dacs pop up on 2nd market. I will read and look about them.
Thanks a lot indeed.
Kind regards,

I would guess that some DACs are more sensitive to transports than others. I don't know and I don't believe that anyone could explain such things anyway (such as why a transport and optical fiber quality affects bass more than treble in my system). In the end you still have to try the equipment to find out how it sounds in your system.
Hi and thanks again
I have to find a friend with a really full range system and listen.
Maybe even my dac in a different but full range system can provide a decent bass if not ultimate bass.
My actual speakers are limited in the very low bass. They cannot serve to test this aspect i am afraid.
Thanks again.
Kind regards,
