Dated but still A rated DACs

Looking to purchase a great sounding used DAC , unless I can obtain equal quality on a new one. Your thoughts?

Find a nice used PS Audio DAC Mark II ( w Bridge if possible ) and never look back ... I just got mine 2 weeks ago and I'm still being amazed by everything I put through it .

Surprisingly no one suggested the usual suspect, Schiit Yggdrasil. No personal experience but lots of positive reviews and lots of love...

Who cares if a device is "A rated" or unrated. Those ratings are just subjective opinions of reviewers that may have certain "motivations" unrelated to how a unit may actually perform.

@kalali noooooooooooooooooooo...........I was hoping we might get through one thread, one, with no one mentioning Shciit. Or Tekton for that matter. Oh well.

Seeing it was bought up, yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! for the Schiit Yggdrasil.

But I believe the OP wanted "Dated but still A rated DACs" not new but best old school R2R format dac’s for doing RedBook.
Just incase here a link for the OP to follow.
