DAC's Made in the USA
Hi Stebut, I am just getting into digital audio and have a Schiit BiFrost Multibit Automomy DAC with Unison USB in Black that I purchased from Schiit directly on August 31, 2020, for $699.00 + tax & shipping, that I am not using since I purchased a Bel Canto 2.7 DAC/PreAmp to feed my Bel Canto 500S. The BiFrost sounded fantastic with my Adcom GFP 815 and GFA 5400. It is also designed, made and sold in Republic of California, currently a part of the USA. But, since I don't need two systems, if you want to buy the BiFrost for $550 let me know, mmcoupeylaw@verizon.net. About 40 hours on the Bifrost. Marc |
I would heartily recommend the NAD M51, which can be had on EBAY for as low as $800ish. Stereophile gave it an A+ in their recommended components list, as evidenced in this review: https://www.stereophile.com/content/nad-m51-direct-digital-da-converter I’ve had mine since 2014 front-ending Audio Research electronics and Martin Logan panels. I’ll only consider replacing it when someone builds a DAC that sounds better, has a phono input and room correction. |
