Hi
I'm in the market for a DAC for my basic system:Jolida 1501 hybrid
SqueezeBox3
Magnepan MMG'sas usual am confused by the the options..
I've read great reviews on the Lite DAC-60..which is half the price of the Lavery.
I'm wondering as well if a tube DAC would be a better match for my system
Follow Ups:
Had it almost a year now. never heard CD sounding so rich and lacking in digital nasties on my system.
I recommend it highly to anyone who wants to hear the music first and foremost. It likes a good transport. I use a Denon DCD-1650AR.
ppop: I have had my eye on the Lite tube DACs for a while now. Is yours modded by anyone, like Pacific Valve? What does the rest of your system consist of? It's nice to hear that it lacks the digital nasties, but does it preserve detail as well? I read a review at Affordable Audio that was very positive about the Lite/Pacific Valve 62, which still comes in cheaper than the Lavry, and at Pacific Valve, you get a 30-day in-home trial. Thanks in advance.
I haven't noticed any discernable drop in detail compared with the analog output of the Denon DCD-1650AR. WHat I can tell you is you could be forgiven for not thinking it was a digital source.
No mods. Can't think of much about it's sound I'd like to change.
