Chord DAVE DAC


Any owners who want to tell me more about it? I recently received an inheritance worth about 13k. I can shell out another 2 grand to get my end-game DAC with headphones. Or...maybe the wife and kids want their bathrooms renovated 

Please tell me how it sounds. I don't have a dealer close-by to audition. I just want "end-game" performance so I won't have to worry. I listen to mostly .flac and .wav files with some .mp3s (320 kbps) in the mix. Only because it was hard to get those albums so I downloaded mp3s and saved money.

I’m probably in the minority here. I’ve heard the DAVE a couple of times and I prefer my Naim DAC. It’s no longer in production but you can get a used one for around 1k and it sounds amazing (MSRP ~$4200).

Save the money and still be able to renovate those bathrooms!

dang man. Sorry for your loss. You should fix the house up the way the wife and kids want. There will be other dacs, but there’s only one of them.
