Topping D90 for under $1K would be a good recommendation. Spending multiples more for a DAC and hoping for a somehow "better" sound is a pipe-dream. Let the rock-throwing by the "golden ears" crowd begin!
DAC UPGRADE QUESTION
I currently have the following system:
1. Martin Logan 11A impressions hybrid-subwoofer with electrostatic panels.
2. Conrad Johnson Classic 62 power amp-60 watts per channel (not the SE )
3. Chord Qtest DAC
4. Lumin U2 mini streamer
Adding the Lumin and streaming with Qobuz has improved the sound immensely from my Cary CD player being used as a transport and the Qtest DAC.
The Qtest Dac was around $2000.00.
Looking for upgrade suggestions as thinking I can improve my sound further with a better sounding DAC.
Thank you.
