A Top DAC

My MSB Analog DAC has gotten a bit long in the tooth; it’s eight years old now!  It’s a great DAC but I’m ready to move up the ladder a few rungs.

On my short list are these newer generation DAC’s:

MSB Premier DAC
DCS Rossini 
‘Lampizator Pacific DAC
Mola Mola Tambaqui

Have you compared any of these DACs?  Got a favorite?

Chord dacs are good better with headphones than speakers to my ears. I sold my TT2 to upgrade to the dCS Bartok. I couldnt be more pleased. We tested this against my friends dave with the mscaler and preferred the Bartok on speakers on headphones it depends on what you own. Then we tested his MSB Premire that was fully upgraded. The MSB is incredible as well. The Bartok falls somewhere between the chord and MSB to my ears.

RME ADI-2 not on Darko's list? Listening to it right now, and I am not even interested in listening to others. Time to listen to music :-)
