RE: New DAC Suggestions

Posted by svisner on May 19, 2021 at 08:35:01:
You're getting some good suggestions and I imagine you'd enjoy many of them. As it happens, I settled on a Schitt Lyr 3 headphone amp with their multi-bit DAC as the front end of my main system. However, I also use a SMSL Sanskrit 10th DAC for several of my sound sources, and I like it very much. Good detail, extension, balance. You just might want to consider experiment with one or more of the modestly priced DACs that have been getting good reviews. Some think they are as good, if not better than high-priced DACs of just a few years back. Trying out the SMSL has been fun. I'm also using a Schitt Fulla as the DAC on my desktop system, which features mini-Maggies. I also use a Schitt Modi on that system, also with very nice results. Just a thought as a way to have a bit of fun.
