New DAC has transformed my music collection.

I bought a chord 2 quite dac which initially sounded great. However I found myself turning the volume down.  After some careful reading I have swapped out the Chord after 2 months to an Exposure Dac, god what a transformation. I have music, I have stopped listening to my system and now listen to music.  

My system comprises of a melco streamer, into an Exposure Dac, Croft epoch elite pre and Croft twin star 1 power amp into piega classic 40.2.  It sounds great listening to mainly blues rock I have the band playing infront of me. Have fallen back in love with my system, and have no plans for any further changes......

I do however miss a remote control for the volume, getting up and down keeps me fit. 

Enjoy the music.

I have dropped my amps off at Glenn's tonight for a look at the valves I have some hissing which will soon be corrected with valves being replaced. 

Your amp sounds very interesting hope you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine.

What is the rest of your system?

Happy for you. I would be sceptical to a DAC that changes the sound dramatically.

That was the only change made, it sounded so much more relaxed but full of life. I am really enjoying music again. The Chord dac was harsh, in your face, whilst the Exposure Dac has the detail but as I say more relaxed sound. The dac has a huge impact on the sound, why not try it?
