I just purchased the Schiit-Yggdrasil DAC a couple weeks ago. It is allowing my media to sound amazing. I’m hearing old CDs that now sound high resolution. I’m very impressed with it. Paired it with the Schiit FreyaS preamp and two Vidar amplifiers in mono to my Dynaudio Focus 260 speakers. The entire setup is sounding amazing.

OP we have sold Chord in the past and the QBD 76 is completely outdated. You really have to ask yourself if you really want to continue to spin CDs. Soix suggested an Innous Mini which is indeed excellent, you can just burn all of your CDs and move into the modern world of streaming as well as having 100% access to your entire library. One great dac is the Aqua Hifi La Voice which is a bit under $5k. The dac sounds very analog like and it has the advantage of never becomming obsolete. Aqua is the only company we know that makes completely upgradable digital solutions. So instead of being a fixed piece of hardware you can upgrade the digital as new technlogies come into existance. There is a real difference in upgradable hardware vs software/firmware upgrades, usually the biggest change in digital is when a new piece of hardware superceedes an older bit of technlogy, with the Aqua the entire dac is made up from individual boards usally 8-10 boards so the entire dac can evolve.

Mirror Audio Tubadour III DAC and like the result. I just purchased the Schiit-Yggdrasil DAC One great dac is the Aqua Hifi La VoiceAll good suggestions for R2R Multibit dacs, as I said the best way to convert Redbook PCM CD 16/44 24/96 or DXD. Steer clear of Delta Sigma dacs for Redbook PCM, they are better at doing DSD or SACD, and only give a "facsimile" of PCM Cheers George |
