Best used or new DAC under $3500
Supposedly the Yggdrasil also uses something no other DAC uses: AD5791 It’s also not an audio d/a converter, but one (it said) used for things like missile guidance circuits. Now it won’t have the good audio specs as say the last best PCM1704 R2R/multibit 24bit specific audio dac has, but if this matters, who knows? Best to if your up to it compare the two with their data sheets.

Best to if your up to it compare the two with their data sheets. Hi George. I'll leave the technical dissection to you if you don't mind. I have looked at the AD5791 previously, but can't say I completely understand it. By all means, let me know how the two DAC chips compare. Besides, isn't it you who states that the chip itself is only a small percentage of the overall sound. I'm led to believe the implementation of the chip and rest of the analog circuit is paramount. |
