Don’t know if anyone here has mentioned any of the variety of Denafrips r2r dacs, but I’m considering the Ares II. Many seem to share that it hits way above its class, provides both an nos and oversampling mode, and manages better detail and trueness than other r2r’s. Another one (off the beaten path) would be a Musical Paradise tube dac. Also considered way better than price would suggest.
New to audio. Is there a good DAC that can produce layers of sound?
One of the Youtube audio reviews I watch as a beginner in audio system is Darko
He says during the Chord Qutest review that this DAC can produce layers of sound which is great
I kinda understand what he says because from my very first audio setup, which I returned due to awful sound of music this week, I could still feel some layers, maybe 2, from Post Malone’s song Deja Vu. Only, there were 2 clear layer, from 16bit 44.1 kHz signals from Sonos Amp, one very far back near the speaker and one right next to my ear. I thought it was amazing though. The speaker was SVS ultra bookshelf.
Now those are all returned to the seller, and I am looking for something more clear, musical, and awesome. So, the Qutest is one of the DACs I want to try.
But, if there is any DAC you, as a more experience audiophiles, would like to recommend to me for having great sound effect, could you please list some names? with brief description of the sound?
The price range I am looking for is about $1.5K or less. I prefer less. Used items included.
I am on a journey to setup an enjoyable sound system for myself and would like to see what others like.
Thanks!
