Best DAC’S $5k to $15k


I have Chord Mscaler and TT2 and it’s very good. I’ve been considering the DAVE. Any recommendations?

If you already have a chord dac, just going up the chain with another chord dac isn't going to be a revelation/enlightening. Try a different type of dac for a different flavor.

You could add the Aavik D-280  (Price ~12k, a different type of dac/different technology) from AudioGroupDenmark to your audition list.

Mola Mola Tambaqui is also a strong candidate.

There is also a lot of trash/foolery in this price bracket (not even remotely worth the price)...Beware!

 

Absolutely, listen to the Mola Mola. It is the most perfect sounding DAC I have had in my system, but not the most musical, IMO, and so I sold mine.

Your speaker is not musical. You sold the wrong item.
