I am considering the purchase of a new dac. I seek more resolution than I currently get (from my Bryston BCD1 or PSAudio GCD). The following units have come up on my radar: Benchmark DAC3 L or B model, whichever is cheaper Border Patrol SEi Schiit Yggdrasl, Gungnir (multibit), and BiFrost Mytek Brooklyn DAC+ I realize some of these units have more of less features than others, but all of them have what I need, except the Border Patrol which has no balanced outputs but I could live with that if the sound is right. I have read everything I can find on all these units. I do not want a unit made offshore as support and repair could be a serious problem, esp. with Chinese units (I realize the Mytek is made in Poland). This requirement precludes Chord units, which apparently are highly regarded. All units have a trial period and are returnable. So I solicit your opinions and tales of your experiences with any of these units, and thank you in advance for your time. Lack of skill dictates economy of style. - Joey Ramone |

Have 2 Topping DACs. Buy from APOS audio and stop worrying about support. |
