DAC’s

Hello, curious on everyone’s thoughts. I’m still building my system. I came across a really good deal on a Meitner MA3 dac. It’s from an authorized dealer and they offered to sell me one NIB for 7k. I have read and read about dacs and I am getting tired. Haha. I really like the Denafrips Terminator 2, Holo and the lumin T3 being the cheapest of them all. Once I factor in a streamer I am already close or over the 7k. Also I don’t need a dac for anything other then just streaming. Thank you

BTW I had and sold a 2020 Terminator II so I have had an R2R before but sold it to get the Lampi and now I don't want to spend more than the R26 to have the R2R sound again - but I will sell the R26 if it isn't at least as good as the Termi II, though right now I don't have clue which other R2R I'd go for...

Believe me, you will never hear the difference, especially not worth a price differential of 5k, even if you have better hearing than the creature in the movie "A Quiet Place".

So for me a 2k $DAC is enough for the easy listening of what I use streaming for. @shtr74sims Did you try and see if the dealer would allow you to try it, say over the weekend?
