New DAC has transformed my music collection.

I bought a chord 2 quite dac which initially sounded great. However I found myself turning the volume down.  After some careful reading I have swapped out the Chord after 2 months to an Exposure Dac, god what a transformation. I have music, I have stopped listening to my system and now listen to music.  

My system comprises of a melco streamer, into an Exposure Dac, Croft epoch elite pre and Croft twin star 1 power amp into piega classic 40.2.  It sounds great listening to mainly blues rock I have the band playing infront of me. Have fallen back in love with my system, and have no plans for any further changes......

I do however miss a remote control for the volume, getting up and down keeps me fit. 

Enjoy the music.

I purchased both from good hifi shops under advice as neither had the amplifiers or speakers I had, both I tested at home. Initially the Chord sounded great but far too in your face.  I know what sound I like, sometimes I can spend hours listening, with the Chord it sounded better when I was in another room. The Exposure Dac has a wonderful calmness about it, the music flows however the detail is all there just not thrown at you.  Jackson Browne has never sounded so good.

maybe an advertisement but I doubt it by the OP as Croft gear at least in USA is almost a small cult following...yes I own some

Enjoy the music !!!!!!!!!!!!

That was a strange comment Erik. What did he say that made you feel that way?
