The Lynx Hilo is made in the USA. It is reasonably priced for what it offers, which is more than you are looking for.
DAC's Made in the USA
I am shopping for my very first dac and the sheer number of product available is bewildering.Unlike many members, I have never owned an outboard dac for a 2 channel system, my budget is extremely limited and my technical knowledge of the product is low.
Further I am committed to purchase a dac made in the USA, or at least a friendly democratic country.
You can see by my equipment list that I have nothing of any great quality or renown and much of this inventory is likely to be sold to partially pay for the dac.
I am 80 years old, wear hearing aids and I am pretty satisfied with the sounds I presently hear and really wonder if I can enhance the sound quality of my CD collection (Jazz, blues and classical).
Would appreciate it if I can get some real help, i.e., people who have actually used their recommendation/not read about it. Also please remember my spending limitation, more is impossible.
Many thanks

Neko Audio D100 Mk II. I think it's on sale for $1000 (normally $1500). Has coax and optical. Sounds great with my Belles Aria integrated. A "warmer" sound profile. It may not be the most stylish box, but it's a very nice piece. And the guy who makes them, Wesley Miaw, is very friendly and helpful. https://www.nekoaudio.com/specials.php |
