Let me see what you guys consider some of the best and most musical DAC + streaming option in the $30K price range. I have my own idea but let's see what you guys prefer if you had that budget.
I concur but someone using $50K worth of amps might not be using a $2K DAC in his system just to give an example. Coherence in gear choice is very important in one's system.
I've been using Totaldac D1-monoblocs with re-clocker and server (just under 30K) for over a year now and its exceptional. Very organic and detailed -- in a rich way, not an analytic way. I have trouble finding a pre-amp that works well enough to make a positive impact between it and my amp. Still searching.
joshfilm i concur the Totaldac d1-twelve (4 boxes) is what i've heard best so far, very organic and analog. This one is in first place on my short list for the DAC-streaming part of my future system. I yet have to audition the CH Precision and the MSB Diamond V. Luckily the only CH dealer in my country is just an hour drive from my place therefore a home audition can be arranged.
