In Reply to: DAC Recommendation? posted by Plato65 on August 29, 2016 at 02:59:14:
might be hard to get in one package.
I prefer older technology multi-bit DACs for natural sound (Audio-GD PCM1704UK chip set for example) and find the newer DACs based on Delta-Sigma chip sets to be a bit harsh.
PSAudio might have something in a DSD capable DAC that is listenable but I don't know if their better stuff is available in your price range.
If it were me, I'd scrap the DSD requirement and go for the moderately priced SCHIIT multi-bit DAC like the GUNGNIR at about $1250 or so.
It is available in two versions, Delta Sigma and Multi-bit, with Multi-bit (no DSD) costing a bit more so that tells us all we need to know about DSD, right?
First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass
