Digital Drive

Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

In doing comparisons I have heard significant differences that I find about equivalent in DACs from $100 to $5000. Above that I have not spent enough time with things, but I imagine the returns diminish quickly. I do not doubt, however, that returns are still present.

I can enjoy my system with a $100 DAC. I might even be satisfied. But it becomes a different experience each time I move up a level. I think a DAC has as significant an effect on the system as your amplifier and should be brought to a similar level of performance that you look for there.
