Try to find a used Sonnet Morpheus.
Full featured balanced dac/preamp advice
There doesn't seem to be too many units on the market that feature a balanced dac/preamp, AES digital input, analog RCA input, balanced outputs and remote control. The Bel Canto 2.7 dac checks all of those boxes. All opinions on that unit would be very welcome. I'm leaning towards buying one at this point. However I don't want to rush this purchase without exploring all of my options. Benchmark made one until recently but it appears to have been discontinued. Guess there is a chance I could find a pre-owned one. I think Mytek has one but I have heard Bel Canto is superior. All opinions greatly appreciated

Thanks to all, I appreciate the advice. I was able to purchase a hard to find Topping D90 dac/preamp here on the forum yesterday. Most reviews show it to be a great DAC but only a good preamp. If I'm disappointed in the preamp I will use it in dac only mode. If it proves a mismatch for my two channel stereo room I'll then see how it works in my headphone setup. Thanks again for all the advice, audiogon members never disappoint |
