Seeking Advice on NOS DAC
Looking to purchase an NOS DAC, budget is $1500.
Currently available for sale are:
- Metrum Acoustics Hex digital converter (used)
- Metrum Acoustics Amethyst DAC (new)
- Acoustic Plan Digimaster Tube DAC (used)
This is a German-built NOS, 24-bit R-2R resistor ladder network, PCM1704U-K converter with 4 tube EC 86 triode outputs.
- HOLO Audio Spring DAC – LEVEL 2 (new, but over my budget of $1500)
My primary listening is via the PS Audio PWT, while music files on my Mac are steadily increasing. I’m thinking NOS due to my large collection of Redbook CD's.
So, any experience or comments on which way to proceed is appreciated.
