In Reply to: New DAC suggestions posted by tube524 on October 23, 2023 at 13:59:25:
You may want to consider one of these (DAC chip in parenthesis):Topping DX9 $1299 (AK4499EQ)
SMSL VMV D2R $999 (BD34301EKV)
SMSL D400EX $960 (AK4499EX x 2 + AK4191)
SMSL SU-10 $899 (ES9038PRO x 2)
SMSL D400ES $799 (ES9039MPRO)
Topping D90LE $799 (ES9038PRO) Same as D90SE but without MQA decodingA few notes:
1. I know that there's MUCH MORE to a DAC than its chip, only showing in case someone has a preference.
2. You can find much less expensive DACs with these same chips but I prefer these "mid-priced" units because they usually offer better power supplies, critical parts, features, etc.
3. Consider buying these Chinese DACs from Apos Audio because they are located in the U.S. and offer after sales support.
4. If you want to buy one of these DACs, you may want to wait until November 11th (11/11) Chinese Singles Day. Many retailers offer 10 - 20% discounts on that day only.Gerry
