RE: The PS Audio NuWave DSD Dac

Posted by John Elison on December 21, 2016 at 03:29:53:
Yes, I'm hoping the Sonica DAC will be different from your HA-1. I haven't heard the HA-1 but from your description I think my BDP-105D is more full bodied, warm and musical. My favorite sounding DAC was the April Music DP1 that I had on lone for a couple of years. Unfortunately, it did not convert DSD, which is a requirement for me. The TASCAM DA-3000 DSD recorder has the best sounding DSD DAC I've ever heard and it satisfies me completely sound wise. The main drawback is its small display and the fact it will accept a maximum capacity USB drive of only 64-GB. The Sonica DAC apparently can accept a large capacity USB drive and can use a tablet for displaying music files. If it only sounds good it will be my choice for a DAC/player and preamp all rolled into one. Of course, for a price tag of only $799 it probably won't sound good, but I can hope! ;-)

Thanks,
John Elison
