I can't thank all all enough for you comments, suggestions and time spent answering my post. I Have considered streaming with a designated streamer, however, very few offerings will support Amazon now. I currently use my Windows based laptop ( 2.0) supporting 24/192 I have a 20' 2.0 cable to my listening chair hard wired and also hard wired to the laptop an Ethernet cable. The laptop sits directly to my side on a table and I use a remote mouse to select my tracks. Of course a little (big) glass of Bourbon sits near by. As several of you have mentioned, I plan on Friday, if my new Amp arrives ( ATI 6002 class A/B) as stated will audition the current system and see how it sounds before making any additional DAC decisions. I will keep you all posted. Thanks again for all your time spent and your expertise. Robert Ps Really like my current Benchmark DAC, but, I also have a smaller system in my home that needs an external DAC Thats why I'm looking.
How do you make a final decision on a DAC
Thank you all for helping me along the way. I've been trying to decide on a DAC for my 2 channel system. I listen to JUST R&R 60's, 70's, 80's more or less and stream from my windows based Pc Via Amazon HD (which I really enjoy) loudly currently through my Benchmark DAC 3B, and my Audiolab 6000 Transport. Associated equipment: Should be here this week after waiting 7 months, ATI amp, 6002, Benchmark Line amp LA-4, Tekton SE Double Impacts and an SVS sb 4000 sealed sub. Really enjoy. A ceiling of 5K is somewhat available, # 1 choice is Denafrips Terminator 2, (a little nervous as once you order it's yours) Audio Mirror Tubadour 3 SE, Aqua La Voce 3. Don't really want a preamp/Dac combo, just a DAC. Listen in a very large shop area with great acoustics. ( just by chance.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Pulling hair out at this point, what little there is. Thanks as always Robert TN ps service is a big priority!!!!
