Many thanks. I will check out this budget Bricasti right away. Sounds right up the alley.
Aurender N10
From mfr product puff: "[Aurender]
N10’s AES/EBU, BNC, Coaxial, and Optical outputs provide a superior musical presentation. As opposed to an asynchonous USB connection, where the DAC pulls packets of information from the player, N10’s SPDIF and AES/EBU audio outputs push signal out to the DAC at intervals defined by the on-board OCXO clock. With a clock this precise, trust us, you want to use it!"
Anyone have a basis to agree or disagree?

@hickamore, Please look into Denafrips Terminator, one of the best R2R DAC’s under $5K. https://www.vinshineaudio.com/product-page/denafrips-terminator-r2r-dac https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/denafrips-dac-owner-impressions-feedback-general-discussion-q... |
If you are looking at R-2R DACS, the Audio-GD products are also excellent. The Denafrips Terminator is excellent I'm sure. It is voiced just slightly laid back (due to the Elna Silmic capacitors used in power supply). The Audio-GD is not going to be quite as laid back and more neutral / high resolution I think: http://www.audio-gd.com/Products-EN.htm The R-7HE is the most expensive offering, but not as expensive as the Terminator. Audio-GD also uses discrete analot output stage. The Terminator uses op amps I believe. |
