Audio Aero Capitole Signature or higher model.
A DAC that can make digital sound analog?
Hi All,
I have a ModWright Oppo 105D. It’s excellent....but it sure don’t sound like vinyl or tape.
What DACs have you heard that really work like magic on digital audio files?
I am interested in DACs that kill that digital glare/blare, that gives you that sense of ‘blackness’ or ‘darkness’ to the audio soundscape, really letting you hear into the mix...ya know that layering, space and depth that is very evident on tape.
Very curious to hear your thoughts.
Thanks!

I highly recommend the Sparkler Audio S504 "Unison" DAC. For those unfamiliar with Sparker, the brand is founded by Mr. Tsukahara, the former electrical engineer of Sakura Systems and the man behind the 47 Treasure series. I've had numerous DACs in my system, from DIY efforts like the Twisted Pear Buffalo to products of renowned brands like the Weiss DAC2. None of them made music sound so effortless and coherent like the S504. |
orpheus10"If anyone wants to turn CD's into "superior" LP's, just record them on a good R2R at 15 IPS, and you will get what sounds like fantastic vinyl" Actually this is easily proven to be mistaken, invalid and false doing as you direct, suggest, and prescribe will not restore to the tape the high frequencies that are "brickwalled" by the CD encoding process that on LP can contain octaves higher in frequency response! |
If you want that and more than that smiling : Starting Point Systems battery NOS dac TDA 1543, that you can connect to a transformer or to an external battery to charge the internal battery... The ratio quality/price exceed ANYTHING in the market...Read the unanimous reviews...reason why: it is a nos dac without sampling of any kind, and the most minimalistic design there is(a single tda chip) + an internal battery that lower the noise... In my system this is flowing pure musicality with plenty of details...I will never go back...Dac quest is ended...There is better than this EBAY selling dac,but for at minimum 1000 thousans bucks perhaps and not all dac at this price beat it.. |
