Looking for a DAC that's better than Mc C47

Im not familiar with the MC, but I’ve been very happy listening to the new Mytek Liberty 2, if you can push the budget up a bit. It’s 1300 to 1500 depending where you look and most places give you a 30 day demo.

Do I prefer DACs in the 7k plus range, absolutely, but for me, this DAC is sufficiently good that I’m having plenty of fun listening, and I’m not missing those higher priced options, even though I know they give “more”.

Listen to a Bricasti M3. Then let us know your thoughts.

Audio Research DAC 9, Berkeley Alpha Reference 3.

The ARC is a tiny bit more musical.

rsf the bricasti is a 5500 dac and  and it favors clarity over midrange bloom 

so that is not the right avenue 

a better question is how are you feeding the dac are you using stock power cords, power conditioning? vibration isolation?

often it is all of these tweeks that bring out the sound you are looking for
