In Reply to: RE: DAC Upgrade Bug posted by John Elison on September 25, 2015 at 15:44:21
What are you using as a transport/source?
Had you thought about upgrading to the PS DSD? Or a Luxman d-06 or Lampizator,possibly the Ayre.
I have used the Blue Circle 509 with good results,but that was my choice below $2K.
Do you have any thoughts on spectral balance for your new DAC? Warmth,speed or preference toward tubes or solidstate?
And budget?

I'm sure you are addressing your questions to the original author of this thread, but I discovered how wonderful the TASCAM DA-3000 sounded almost by accident. I haven't tried any of those DACs you mention, but I did have an April Music Eximus DP1 on loan for a year and it was the best sounding DAC I had ever heard. I actually intended to buy it before I was introduced to DSD. Now, I have to have a DSD capable DAC and I bought the TASCAM DA-3000 DSD recorder so I could begin making DSD copies of my favorite vinyl records. That's when I discovered that the TASCAM sounded noticeably better than my Oppo BDP-105D and equally as nice as the Eximus DP1. Most of the DACs you mention are very expensive relative to the TASCAM and I'm all about saving money as well as achieving good sound quality. The TASCAM DA-3000 fulfills both of those requirements for the reasonable price of $1000.
Best regards,
John Elison
