DAC Suggestions Please
I currently have two DACs in my system which are internal to other components. My front end is an OPPO 105 and my pre-amp is a Classe Sigma SSP. What recommendations do any of you have to improve my DAC performance. What price point should I be looking at to really improve everything. Thanks very much for any suggestions.

Georgehi and Sioux above are asking you good quesitons. What is your library, what are your speakers and are you thinking of streaming Tidal MQA. Also realize that a lot of Dacs have preamps built into them. I currently have Schiit Gungir Multibit (new around $1350?) and the Mytek Brooklyn Dac+ ($2100). Like both of them but Brooklyn has more features (Preamp, Phono Preamp, and MQA) and it is allowing me to streamline my setup (get rid of a preamp and a phone preamp.) The brooklyn dac has also got me hooked on streaming. Also I could not tell the difference between these two dacs until I upgraded my speakers. Will be selling my Schitt Gumby. |
Thanks for all the input. Here is additional info on my set up. Speakers are Revel Ultima Studio2. Amp and preamp are Parasound P7 and JC1 monoblocks. My sources are primarily red book cd, FLAC files from my Oppo 105 and vinyl. I listen to a lot of progressive rock, female vocals, some jazz, bluegrass, limited country, and some big band. |

taylorro Then stick with R2R Multibit dacs, the best for doing PCM (RedBook), discrete new ones or new old stock. Shiit Yggdrasill is a good nos new one, but make sure it's the latest "B" (mkII) version. http://www.schiit.com/products/yggdrasil Cheers George |
