In Reply to: DSD capable and natural violin tone.... posted by Ivan303 on August 29, 2016 at 08:29:18:
It seems odd to me to seek a DAC or any component that is good for a particular instrument. My feeling on the topic is that a component should be good across the board.I've had many DACs in my setup but if extra smooth is one of the requirements with little regard for shortcomings, I would recommend the Wavelength Brick v3 USB DAC or the Luxman DA-06. Both are VERY smooth, but both are also rolled off at the frequency extremes, kind of soft dynamically, and a little veiled to my ears.... but VERY VERY smooth.
For an overall outstanding performer on a reasonable budget I can highly recommend the PS Audio NuWave DSD DAC ($1299 MSRP, much less with certain manufacturer sponsored trade-ins).
The PS Audio NuWave DSD DAC has recently replaced my $3500 Ayre QB-9 DSD DAC. Both are outstanding but I prefer the PS Audio over the Ayre by a slight margin.
