Accuphase dac 60

Welcome to the machine/insanity!  For this and future posts it’s best if you can provide details about what improvements you’re looking for over what you have now and what sound characteristics are most important to you so you get more targeted and useful recommendations (otherwise they’ll be all over the place and largely based on personal preferences that may not be inline with yours).  So fire away.

short of supplying add’l info as @soix mentioned i would say that the ps audio d-link was to my ear quite a strident, bright, digital sounding unit, very far from what better dacs of today can do... i don’t know the accuphase dacs but knowing their company target sound quite well, i would think the difference in sonic character would be significant - accuphase being smoother, more musical, less overtly detailed and mechanical sounding

I second the @jjss49 post on Accuphase sound. I own a E-650, go for digital module and allow atleast 300 plus hours before you make the final judgment!

Another +vote for adding the Accuphase DAC 60 module.

Happy Listening!

Thanks guys! Just hoping I get a good sonic improvement like I did when I traded my Classé delta pre pro towards the Accuphase e380. I have the older B&W 804S towers and this accuphase really made a big difference in sound, for the better. I had the Classé cp500 preamp and ca2200 amp and it was great, but decided I needed a change after 16yrs and took the plunge to accuphase. It sounds better on all levels. I was actually shocked, because Classé delta gear is great and all I’ve really know for a long time. Way more musical now.

I have a CD player and probably going to start streaming with qobuz and a bluesound node, so figured I mines well change the dac while I’m at it.

It is draining trying to read up on all these new dacs and to many to choose from. Just kind of figured I can’t go wrong with the dac 60 card. From the limited research I have found, everyone seems to say it is great. I listen to just about anything, so I guess I’m leaning towards the more warmer musical sound of things the older I get.
