@lordmelton I do not need a pre amp feature because of the integrated amp I use II do need a pure DAC only but am not sure what should choose for a transparent and dense musical bliss.
T+A DAC 200 or WEISS 501
Who will take what if given an opportunity lets take a vote.

@jasbirnandra The T200 comes very highly recommend by many here as the best value DAC under $15k. Much depends on your system of course and you need a demo. |
@lordmelton there is no way to demo one in india I have to buy blind and my setup is pilium Leonidas integrated amp with lumin U2 mini and currently Canary DAC which I think is the bottleneck |
The DAC 200 can be set as a pure DAC as its volume control can be set to a line level output. I have demoed both and prefer the DAC 200, but take that as you will as I am a T+A dealer. The DAC 200 has a wider bandwidth resulting in a wider, deeper soundstage. It is also a bit more organic and revealing in character. The 501 becomes more worth it if you take advantage of its room correction capabilities, but sometimes it as a bit more of a sterile sonic signature, obviously sucking some of the color that your room adds to the final result. I have typically shied away from DSP room correction because of this. |
@blisshifi What DAC chip does the T+A 200 use
