I've been happy with all my DAC upgrades over the years...on my current PS Audio DAC I have found each FPGA upgrade (they are free) to be a significant improvement...
The DAC Scam - Almost everyone believes the hype
Over many decades I have owned my share of multi-thousand dollar dacs.My current is my Audio Alchemy DDP-1 + PS 5, which I have owned for ~ 4 years. I have made many changes to my system, including cables and it has shined a light on every one, so I tend to agree with the YTV . Your thoughts?
