Even "cheap" no name Chinese DACs. There was never anything remotely racist in what I said. Stop dog whistling to hide you lie. By using the comment "cheap no name Chinese DAC" you are showing yourself to be the real racist. I will go out on a limb and say I have far far more experience dealing with Chinese companies that you ever will. 你说的任何语言都不诚实
R2R Ladder DACs or All in One Streamer Solutions
I am soon to own a Pass INT 25 integrated amp. I also own an Oppo 205.
I am now searching for a separate DAC to replace/improve the DAC in the Oppo.
Budget $2k. Used preferred.
I like the R2R ladder sound and want a tube inside for a little balance with the Solid State gear.
My current source is the Oppo 205.
I am also shopping for a Streamer/Ripper/Storage device. Roon friendly and DSD capable.
Budget also $2k. Used Preferred.
It seems that the few offerings of these all in one solutions all contain a DAC.
My thought is that the DAC included will not be any better than the Oppo so it is of little use.
Has anyone been down this road lately?
Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences!

Actually abraxalito you just jogged the memory, it was a ’raindrop_hui’ one, ok it had very low order filtering and their was a touch of noise on the output the way he liked it, but it punished the the MF A3/24 musically using the same transport. Cheers George |
And look at that, he’s still going and using I think an R2R d/a conversion still, the one AMR also uses in their DP-777 dac the TDA1305 which was originally made by Philips for Discman use!!!! for it’s low power consumption I believe. https://www.ebay.com/itm/DAC-kit-TDA1305-TDA1315-Multi-input-USB-Optical-Coaxial/322891865956?hash=i...

The former is most likely a re-marking of TDA1545 (or something similar like TDA1387). An earlier design than TDA1305 which has some lack-lustre opamps on-board. TDA1305 is definitely not R2R (oversampled design) but UDA1305 probably would qualify as that. |
