Under $3K streaming dac suggestions, Roon Ready?
Just as the title explains..
Currently using an Auralic Mini to Mytek Liberty. Looking for a one box solution to save space/cables primarily, but if sound quality improvement is capable in the under $3K range as well, then WOOHOO!!!
Will be hooked up to a Yamaha A-S2100 integrated, Spendor A4 speakers.
I've previously used: Lumin D2, and PS Audio DSD Jr. - and both of those sounded the same as my current setup, and I'm not against going back to either of those since they fit the requirements.
Open to all/any other suggestions. I have my eye currently on: Mytek Brooklyn Bridge and the Teac NT-505. Would prefer a component that offers balanced & unbalanced outputs, and volume control isn't needed of course.
Best,
Rob

For all those curious about DACs, the Arizona AV Club is partnering with several manufacturers and dealers to produce a DAC shootout on Saturday August 24th 11am to 3pm. The event will be held at Acoustic Designs 16074 N. 78th Street, Suite B104, Scottsdale, AZ 85260.

I have heard the new Auralic g1 ,and the Lumen d-2 with new Sboostermk-2 power supply and imo the Lumin by far ismore rich and more natural sounding more prat. I had to mention the Sbooster mk-2 power supply forprice wise with power supply they both are around $2800 retail , the Auralic is very respectable the Sabre dac sounds different then the Wolfson dacs. |
