Mesch I am looking at a new DAC. Is there a recommended DAC that has a good analog output stage. My Emotiva sound too bright to me. Not a natural sound.I prefer the Marantz straight rather than through the DAC. With the cd players I have I think a really good analog sounding DAC is what I really need. I know the Emotiva is not the answer. Hoping a better DAC would be the ticket. I like the USB inputs on the Marantz 6005 which is why I got it so I could play my IPOD through it as well if we are cooking out etc. Any good DAC recommendations?
Need New CD Player or new DAC
I need a new cd player. Been looking at the forum and the threads are all pretty old. I have a couple right now. I have a Marantz 6005, an old Calfornia Audio cd player and a Sony DVD player with the drop down face. Also a Pioneer cd recorder. I also have a Emotiva DAC XD-2. Using the Marantz right now but thought I would see if there is a more musical cd player. Been listening to a lot of vinyl lately and like that analog sound. Should I switch cd players or get a better DAC or keep what I got because there won't be that much difference. Any help would be much appreciated.

We still don't know your budget, but you could try some tubes. The Jolida sounds very nice. http://www.musicdirect.com/p-229971-jolida-glass-fx-tube-dac-iii-w.aspx?utm_source=googlepepla&utm_medium=adwords&id=71308431356&gclid=CjwKEAjw7O6vBRDpi7O-8OWSkwESJACNFsgxThCEcY9DXGYmAagWsez8JIcXj3GDZolpperYJ8rtrRoC0vDw_wcB |
