Battle of the Older DAC
Would this be a simple choice for you?
Looking at upgrading my DAC and at similar price points have options of an Auralic Vega (2013) and a Schiit Yggdrasil OG A2 (2018?)
I have heard the Auralic and it is impressive, but the reputation of the Yggy looks solid.
Would be keen to hear from anyone who has experience of both or if the choice is clearer that it appears to me.
As ever, would love to hear your thoughts.
@jond +1 These observations by Vlad, of Audio Mirror, make much sense. OP: No DAC, by itself, is a silver bullet to fantastic SQ. It takes a system. And a system takes time to build. Stay within your budget. Take your time. And no - streaming is not simply 1’s & 0’s. |
OP, Most of us had a moment early on in the pursuit of high end audio where logic said something shouldn’t matter and the actual sonic difference was huge. It becomes clear that numbers and measurement only tell a very small part of the story. That’s when listening becomes the number one tool, and you spend lots of time honing it. |
