Doge clarity 7 best DAC at any price.
I have owned Berkley Audio, Lumin, Chord.....etc.
Just curious... do you have the stock tubes or did you replace them (and with what)?
DAC Choices - $5,000 to $7,000
Bricasti m3 with streamer card is a incredible deal and digs very deep into the recording and sounds very natural vs the Holo springs May KTE and Denafrips terminstor +. The Bricasti sounded more fleshed out with better tonal balance ,very close 95% of their $10k m1 dac and a pure Analog preamp section from their m21 , and Differentially balanced circuit ,and running 2 ANalog devises 1955 Multibit dacs ,I can see why Bricasti is used often in professional mastering studios . I bought the M3 which also module for future upgrades ,CNC machined aluminum chassis ,and made in MA. U.S.A not China !! |
If you are in search of excellent value ... The R7HE MK2 is a dual mono fully balanced Class A reference quality PCM/DSD DAC that is dramatically underpriced for its performance level. We have heard no DAC at near this price that presently competes with it. Most competitors are selling this level of quality for well over $10,000.00. Parts quality is world class. This is easily the best DAC that we have ever sold. We were shocked at its performance at this price https://www.underwoodhifi.com/products/audio-gd hth |
