What is the best DAC ever made?


Hello,

Just looking for some imput on high quality DAC's...I have owned a number over some time and have loved and lost them...Currently I am using the Classe DAC-1 to great pleasure...Just thought I would ask others what they thought!

i am still enjoying my Zanden every day, and feel no need to look any further, despite knowing (as with all things), it too will be surpassed.
I don't know about the "best DAC ever" but the Tranquility SE pretty much maximizes my needs and especially my wants. Before I tried the Tranquility, I had no idea what a well-engineered and manufactured DAC could accomplish. And I was very skeptical of the claims made for the Tranquility. Now I see why the early adopters were ravers!

I have it setup with a 2010 MacMini (8GB ram) and Pure Music with a 1TB Oyen MiniPro firewire HD to store the files and RSAD Alethias USB from the Mini to the Tranquility SE.

The Tranquility is a consistent pleasure (and often jaw-dropping) for ripped files (AIFF) for streaming audio.

The customer service is amazing. Always interested in making the most of the system you have.
I neglected to post that I now have the Weiss Dac202. It is very impressive.
last years i have owned , berkeley alpha, weiss 202, AA tube dac SE, and tried dozen of others dacs.. and now landing with an Diy AudioNote dac 3.1 . it is the first one i can listen hours and hours like my other analog stuff..
