To my ears the Mola Mola Makua with dac board was easily better than the DAVE. I have not tried the DAVE/Blu2 combo but this would make it considerably more expensive than the MM.
Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD
Hi All.
Putting together a reference level system.
My Source is predominantly standard 16/44 played from a MacMini using iTunes and Amarra. Some of my music is purchased from iTunes and the rest is ripped from standard CD's.
For my tastes in music, my high def catalogues are still limited; so Redbook 16/44 will be my primary source for quite some time.
I'm not spending DCS or MSB money. But $15-20k retail is not out of the question.
Upsampling vs non-upsampling?
USB input vs SPDIF?
All opinions welcome.
And I know I need to hear them, but getting these ultra $$$ DAC's into your house for an audition ain't easy.
Looking for musical, emotional, engaging, accurate , with great dimension. Not looking for analytical and sterile.

Hola a todos, utilizo como DAC en mi sistema el Schiit Yggdrasil http://www.schiit.com/products/yggdrasil Una máquina estupenda de conversión digital analógica diseñada exclusivamente para ello. Tanto a través de su conexión por USB como balanceado digital, con un sonido muy completo y envolvente. Te da una escena sonora estupenda y la música que tengo almacenada en el Mac mini y periféricos funciona de maravilla. Lo mismo con la música 16/44 utilizando como transporte mi lector de CD Electrocompaniet EMC1UP. Una combinación muy buena si lo que buscas es un DAC que sea solo DAC y saque lo mejor de tu colección de CD y de música almacenada. |
